CHAPTER 6
The Yog of Meditation

पार्थ नैवेह नामुत्र विनाशस्तस्य विद्यते।
न हि कल्याणकृत्कश्चिद्दुर्गतिं तात गच्छति ॥40॥

[ “The Lord said, ‘This man, O Parth, is destroyed neither in this world nor in the next because, my brother [1]one who performs good deeds never comes to grief.’’’ ]

Arjun is addressed as “Parth” because, as we have already seen, he has turned his mortal body itself into a chariot to proceed to his goal. And now Krishn tells him that the man who deviates from yog, because of his mind’s fickleness, is not destroyed in this world or in the next. This is so because a doer of good deeds, of God-related deeds, is never damned. However, what is his destiny?
