Verse 6.38

कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति। अप्रतिष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मणः पथि।।6.38।।

kachchin nobhaya-vibhraṣhṭaśh chhinnābhram iva naśhyati apratiṣhṭho mahā-bāho vimūḍho brahmaṇaḥ pathi

Meaning

If you're failing at both, are you gonna totally crash and burn like a busted cloud, all alone and lost, Arjuna? Majorly clueless on the path to Brahman?

Commentary

So like, if you're totally failing at both the Karma grind and the Yoga life, are you just, like, totally screwed? No support, no heaven, just a big ol' yikes. It's all about that one-track mind, fam. You gotta ditch the world and the whole heaven thing, or you're gonna be majorly bummed if you don't reach Brahman.
