Arjuna said: O Krishna, what is the destination of the unsuccessful transcendentalist who in the beginning takes to the process of self-realization with faith but who later desists due to worldly-mindedness and thus does not attain perfection in mysticism?

Arjuna asks a deeply practical question: what happens to someone who starts on the yoga path with genuine faith but falls away before completing it? This is the question of spiritual failure, and it deserves a serious answer.
