अर्जुन पूछते हैं: हे कृष्ण, जो व्यक्ति श्रद्धा तो रखता है पर पूरा प्रयास नहीं कर पाता, और जिसका मन योग की सिद्धि से पहले ही भटक जाता है, उसका क्या होता है?

Practise it today

Think of one good effort you started and abandoned. Instead of judging yourself, write one thing it still taught you or gave you.

Reflect tonight

What did your unfinished effort still give you? Can you see it as a beginning rather than a waste?
