Sri Bhagavãn said—O Partha (Son of Kunti), there is no fall for him here or hereafter; because, O dear, the doer of good never meets with an evil destiny.(40) What type of destiny does he meet with then? The striver, who has fallen from Yoga because of having worldly desires, attains the worlds of all the righteous (higher worlds such as heaven etc.), and having lived there for countless years, takes birth in the house of pious and wealthy men in the mortal world. If he has no worldly desire, but falls from Yoga because of any other reason at the time of death, he instead of going to heaven etc., is born in the family of enlightened Yogis. This kind of birth is very difficult to obtain in this world.(41-42) What happens to hint after he has taken birth in the family of enlightened Yogis? O Kurunandana! There he regains this Knowledge acquired in his previous birth easily and he strives more than before for perfection.(43) You have told me about him who takes birth in the family of enlightened Yogis. But what happens to him who takes birth in the house of pious and wealthy men? He, though subject to the senses, feels drawn towards God by force of his former practice.(44) |
