हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 6.37)
।।6.37।।अर्जुन बोले  हे कृष्ण जिसकी साधनमें श्रद्धा है पर जिसका प्रयत्न शिथिल है वह अन्तसमयमें अगर योगसे विचलितमना हो जाय तो वह योगसिद्धिको प्राप्त न करके किस गतिको चला जाता है


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary





What is the  destination  of  one  who  fails  to  achieve  atma  tattva  or
realisation of the soul,  due  to  inability  to  cultivate  dispassion  and
practice of meditation? Where does one end up who in the very beginning  was
endowed with firm faith and practice but later  due  to  weakness  of  mind,
cessation of practice and attraction to sense gratification  was  unable  to
achieve realisation? This is the meaning of the question submitted  to  Lord
Krishna.


Brahma Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The word ayatih means one who does not earnestly endeavour.

Now begins the summation.

The special meaning Lord Krishna is giving is denoted by the word ayatih or
one who does not endeavour by the regulated practice of meditation or
contrarily one who abstains from the practise of meditation that was
already begun. The words aprapya yoga-samsiddhim mean without achieving the
complete potential of yoga or the science of the individual consciousness
attaining communion with ultimate consciousness. Although for the word yoga
there is the established meaning, perfection in meditation is the inferred
meaning here. Thus failure in perfecting meditation is not contradictory.


Shri Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

Kumara Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary
Now the question arises. What happens to  a  practitioner  of  yoga  or  the
science  of  the  individual  consciousness  attaining  communion  with  the
ultimate consciousness who becomes established  in   yoga  with  firm  faith
experiencing some realisations but later  in  life  due  to  negligence  and
lethargy in their practices fail to achieve perfection in yoga?  This  could
also be due to being unable to  control  the  mind  and  thus  incapable  of
controlling the senses  with  their  passions.  Such  an  aspirant  although
practising and endowed with faith does not have by the potency  to  maintain
the process and therefore the mind is diverted into pursuing the objects  of
the senses and thus deviated from yoga at the crucial time  of  death.  What
will such a persons destination be who like this fails to reach the goal  of
moksa or liberation after commencing the yoga in life. This is the  question
being beseeched for Lord Krishna to answer.
