There, in that life, he regains the link of mentality transmitted from his former body. Consequently, once again he strives for full success, O rejoicer of the Kurus!
Then the experience acquired in his former life will revive, and with its help he will strive for perfection more eagerly than before.
There he regains the disposition of mind which he had in his former body, O Arjuna, and from there he strives much more for success in Yoga.

After that, the assiduous man of Yoga, having his sins completely cleansed and being perfected through many births, reaches the Supreme Goal.
Then after many lives, the student of spirituality, who earnestly strives, and whose sins are absolved, attains perfection and reaches the Supreme.
But the Yogin striving earnestly, cleansed of all his stains, and perfected through many births, reaches the supreme state.
However, the yogi, applying himself assiduously, becoming purified from sin and attaining perfection through many births, thereby achieves the highest Goal.
But, the Yogi who strives with assiduity, purified of sins and perfected gradually through many births, reaches the highest goal.

Not being a master of himself, he is only dragged by that former practice (its mental impression); only a seeker of the knowledge of Yoga passes beyond what strengthens the [sacred] text.
Unconsciously he will return to the practices of his old life; so that he who tries to realise spiritual consciousness is certainly superior to one who only talks of it.
By the power of his earlier practice, he is carried forward even against his will. Even though he is an enquirer about Yoga, he transcends the Sabda-brahman i.e., Prakrti or matter.
For, by that very past practice, he is carried forward even in spite of himself! Even a seeker of Yoga transcends the result of the performance of Vedic rituals!
By that very former practice he is borne on in spite of himself. Even he who merely wishes to know Yoga transcends the Brahmic word.
