Having attained the worlds of the meritorious and having dwelt there for many years, one who has fallen from yoga is reborn in the house of the pure and prosperous.
Commentary (टीका)
Krishna describes the fate of the yoga-bhrashta (one who falls from yoga). Far from being destroyed, such a person first enjoys the heavenly realms earned by their spiritual merit, and then takes birth in a pure, wealthy family. This favorable rebirth provides the ideal circumstances for continuing their spiritual journey. No spiritual effort is ever lost — it carries forward across lifetimes.
