असंयतात्मना योगो दुष्प्राप इति मे मतिः । वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्योऽवाप्तुमुपायतः॥६-२८-३६॥
In my view, yoga is difficult to attain for one whose self is unrestrained; but for one whose self is disciplined and who strives, it can be attained by appropriate means.

Arjuna said: One who does not persevere, yet is endowed with faith, whose mind has deviated from yoga—without attaining yogic perfection—what course does he take, O Kṛṣṇa?

Does he not, having fallen away from both (worldly aims and yogic attainment), perish like a severed cloud—without support, O mighty-armed one, deluded on the path to Brahman?

एतन्मे संशयं कृष्ण छेत्तुमर्हस्यशेषतः । त्वदन्यः संशयस्यास्य छेत्ता न ह्युपपद्यते॥६-२८-३९॥
This doubt of mine, O Kṛṣṇa, you ought to resolve completely; for no one other than you is fit to dispel this doubt.
