Arjuna wants Kṛṣṇa to give an assurance that Enlightenment is possible for all kinds of people; that even if a person starts practicing intensely but fails due to the wavering mind, it is still possible to attain the Divine Consciousness, Brahman. Actually, at the very root of Arjuna’s question is the mind that is generating the fear and making him believe that it is hard to find the no-mind state.
The mind does not want to lose its
existence. The mind always looks
for a reason to convince us that we
cannot carry on our lives without it.
In our day-to-day life we face the
situation that Arjuna faces here.
Even with activities that we have
carried out successfully many times
in the past, we feel nervous when
we start again.
Will we succeed? What will happen
if we fail? Even before we begin, we
start imagining the worst.
Actually, it is okay to imagine the worst. To overcome fear and face fear, it is good to imagine the worst-case scenario. Visualize it fully, relive such an experience consciously, taking it to its logical conclusion, and the fear will disappear. Kṛṣṇa assures Arjuna by saying that there is no destruction either in this life or the next life for one who is on the right path, the path of yoga. He provides the assurance that Arjuna is looking for. Kṛṣṇa is giving a wonderful assurance for all of us that even a small amount of practice of this yoga will save us from the cycle of birth and death. Any yoga practiced will give us tremendous benefit

Listen, any movement of
the body with a strong
intention will cause that
intention to get deeply
inscribed into our bodies
and muscles. If we move
our body with the
thought of bliss, the bliss
emotion gets ingrained
in our system. This is
such an important and
beautiful truth. Don't
miss it!
