Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 37

Arjuna said: Though possessed of faith but unable to control himself, with the mind wandering away from Yoga, what end does one, failing to gain perfection in Yoga, meet, O Krishna?

Arjuna asks a real, compassionate question: what happens to someone who genuinely tries and still doesn't make it all the way?

This is a question a lot of people quietly carry. Not about someone who never tried, but about someone who started with real sincerity and still fell short, Arjuna wants to know if that effort was wasted.
