कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति।
अप्रतिष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मणः पथि।।6.38।।



हिंदी अनुवाद - स्वामी रामसुख दास जी ( भगवद् गीता 6.38)
।।6.38।।हे महाबाहो संसारके आश्रयसे रहित और परमात्मप्राप्तिके मार्गमें मोहित अर्थात् विचलित  इस तरह दोनों ओरसे भ्रष्ट हुआ साधक क्या छिन्नभिन्न बादलकी तरह नष्ट तो नहीं हो जाता


Rudra Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary

The import of the question is now  being  delineated.  Firstly  an  aspirant
having exclusively offered all activities  unto  the  Supreme  Lord  without
having performed any activities for attaining svarga loka  or  the  heavenly
spheres does not arrive there. Secondly failing to obtain  success  in  yoga
or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with  the
ultimate consciousness by dhyana or meditation one does not attain moksa  or
liberation from the material existence either. Thus not qualified  for  both
and deluded on the path leading to the Brahman or the  spiritual  substratum
pervading all existence and atma tattva or realisation  of  the  soul.  Does
such a one perish or does such a one escape  death?  This  is  the  question
posed to Lord Krishna. A metaphor concerning the destrution of  such  a  one
is given by the example of a detached cloud in the  sky  being  disconnected
from the mass and unable to attach to another is dissolved in  the  interval
is it not so for such a one.

Kumara Vaishnava Sampradaya - Commentary
Now before Lord Krishna  answers  him.  Arjuna  also  wishes  to  know  what
becomes of the person  who  is  performing  actions  for  the  Supreme  Lord
without any  consideration  of  personal  gains  and  does  not  succeed  in
perfecting yoga or the science of  the  individual  consciousness  attaining
communion with the ultimate consciousness. Because such  a  person  was  not
performing any  actions  for  entering  heaven  they  will  subsequently  be
unqualified for access to heaven and hence not connected anywhere.  This  is
what Arjuna is meaning in his analogy of a cloud split off  from  a  greater
cloud but unable to join an even greater cloud.  The  purport  is  that  the
yogi  abandoned  karma  yoga  or  prescribed  Vedic  activities  to   become
established in the highest  path  of  yoga  by  dhyana  or  meditation;  but
subsequently failed to perfect it in their life. So missing  the  chance  to
enter svarga loka or the heavenly worlds and also  failing  to  attain  atma
tattva or realisation of the soul do they perish?
