Having attained the worlds of the meritorious and dwelling there for immense years, the one who has fallen from yoga is reborn in the home of the pure and prosperous. Krishna reassures Arjuna: the fallen yogi is never lost but carries their spiritual merit into a future life suited for continued practice.
- •Spiritual merit accumulated is never lost and carries forward
- •The fallen yogi is reborn in favorable conditions for renewed practice
- •No sincere spiritual effort is ever wasted
