Educational Q&A

What is the core teaching?

Persistent, effortful yoga-practice purifies the practitioner; the momentum of discipline accumulated across many births ripens into realization, leading to the supreme goal (liberation).

What is happening in the narrative?

Arjuna is speaking about the destiny of a striving yogin: even if perfection is not immediate, sustained effort—supported by impressions from prior lives—culminates in purification and attainment of the highest state.
