।।6.40।। हे पार्थ नैव इह लोके नामुत्र परस्मिन् वा लोके विनाशः तस्य विद्यते नास्ति। नाशो नाम पूर्वस्मात् हीनजन्मप्राप्तिः स योगभ्रष्टस्य नास्ति। न हि यस्मात् कल्याणकृत् शुभकृत् कश्चित् दुर्गतिं कुत्सितां गतिं हे तात तनोति आत्मानं पुत्ररूपेणेति पिता तात उच्यते। पितैव पुत्र इति पुत्रोऽपि तात उच्यते। शिष्योऽपि पुत्र उच्यते। यतो न गच्छति।।किं तु अस्य भवति

6.40 The Lord said Neither here nor there is destruction for him who has begun Yoga with faith and has then fallen away from it. The meaning is that there is no destruction either in the form of failure of attainment of desires or in the form of Pratyavaya, which means the attainment of what is undesirable because of defects in the performance of works. Therefore no one who practises this incomparably auspicious Yoga ever comes to an evil end in the present, past or future. Sri Krsna explains how this is so:

6.40 पार्थ O Partha, न not, एव verily, इह here, न not, अमुत्र in the next world, विनाशः destruction, तस्य of him, विद्यते is, न not, हि verily, कल्याणकृत् he who does good, कश्चित् anyone, दुर्गतिम् bad state or grief, तात O My son, गच्छति goes.Commentary He who has not succeeded in attaining to perfection in Yoga in this birth will not be destroyed in this world or in the next world. Surely he will not take a birth lower than the present one. What will he attain, then? This is described by the Lord in verses 41, 42, 43 and 44. Tata: son. A disciple is regarded as a son.
