Chapter 6: Dhyāna Yoga – Yoga through Meditation and Contemplation: Verse 40
श्रीभगवानुवाच।
पार्थ नैवेह नामुत्र विनाशस्तस्य विद्यते ।
न हि कल्याणकृत्कश्चिद्दुर्गतिं तात गच्छति ॥
śrī bhagavān-uvāca
pārtha naiveha nāmutra vināśas-tasya vidyate
na hi kalyāṇa-kṛt-kaścid-durgatiṃ tāta gacchati – 6.40
Lord Krishna said: O son of Kunti, neither here on earth nor in the higher worlds, can there be destruction for him. One intending to do good (set on the auspicious path), will never meet an adverse plight. (Such is the spiritual law.)
Chapter 6: Dhyāna Yoga – Yoga through Meditation and Contemplation - Verse 40
Ma Gurupriya
Krishna, as ever, is adept in handling any situation. Straightaway he says that no destruction will befall such a yoga practitioner either in his life here or in the world awaiting him after his body falls.
All adversities are an outcome of the harmful deeds one does. In pursuing the samatva-yoga Krishna prescribes, the practitioner is not guilty of inflicting any harm or hindrance to anyone. So there will be no adversity for him anywhere.
In fact, one who intends to do good, will never have an adverse plight. What a great assurance, how relieving and rewarding for one and all! Gita becomes adorable because of such inspiring and empowering revelations!
