T\here is every chance of failure on the yogic path; even a great sage
like Visvamitra Muni can fall down due to material allurement. Although the
muni fell for the time being, he again resolved to go on with the yoga
process, and this should be our resolve. Krsna informs us that such failures
should not be cause for despair. There is the famous proverb that “failure
is the pillar of success.” In the spiritual life especially, failure is not
discouraging. Krsna very clearly states that even if there is failure, there
is no loss either in this world or in the next. One who takes to this
auspicious line of spiritual culture is never completely vanquished.
