If a small patch of cloud appears in the sky,
it can neither precipitate rain nor join other clouds,
and within moments the wind destroys it.
Very much similar to this puny,
isolated cloud appears the passive
and
unpersevering man
who
begins with an enterprise
and
then discontinues his efforts.
Is this man
truly like scattered patches of clouds
because his mind is divided
and
he is confused?
Arjun wishes
to be enlightened on
what finally happens to such a man?
Is he destroyed?
If so he has missed both
Self-realization
and
worldly enjoyment.
But what is his final end?
And Lord Krishn
answers
in
“Bhagavad Gita”
*****
“This man,
O Parth,
is
destroyed neither in this world nor in the next because,
my brother,
one who performs good deeds
never comes to grief.’’
Arjun is addressed as “Parth”
because,
he has turned his mortal body itself into a chariot to proceed to his goal.
Lord Krishn tells him
that
the man who deviates from yog,
because of his mind’s fickleness,
is
not destroyed in this world or in the next.
This is so because
a doer of good deeds,
of God-related deeds,
is
never damned.
