Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 6: The Path of Meditation

Bhagavad Gita 6.41

prāpya puṇyakṛtāṃ lokānuṣitvā śāśvatīḥ samāḥ | śucīnāṃ śrīmatāṃ gehe yogabhraṣṭo'bhijāyate ||

Having reached the worlds of the righteous and lived there for countless years, one who fell from yoga is born again in the home of people who are pure and prosperous.

Modern context

Krishna describes what happens to the seeker who fell short: a long stay in the worlds of the good, and then birth in a home that is both pure and prosperous. Read in this-life terms, the principle is familiar. Effort shapes circumstances. A person who has tried sincerely tends to find themselves, sooner or later, in conditions that support the next attempt: better company, more stability, more room to grow.
