Verse 6.41

Verse 6.41: “Having attained the regions reserved for the righteous, and remained there many a year, the man who has strayed from the Path of Yoga gets reborn in the house of the pure and the prosperous. (441)

Commentary called Jnaneshwari by Jnaneshwar:

Just see the wonder of such a person. He secures without much effort, that which even ‘Indra,’ the doer of a century of sacrifices, finds it hard to secure. His mind then gets tired of the various undecaying and unique enjoyment in the respective regions, and in this fed up condition, he goes on saying in exasperation, “Oh God! Bhagwan why this uncalled for obstruction should come in my way?” Next he is reborn in this mortal world, into a family where there exists a rich store of piety and spiritual regard for religion, and (where) there grows into a robust sprout of glory, just as there should sprout forth a long shoot out of a pruned stem of a crop-plant. He conducts himself along the moral path, always seeks the truth and views everything as laid down in the Scriptures. The ‘Vedas’ are his living deity, his own religion is the code of his conduct, and right thinking is his adviser. There is no other subject for meditation but the (one of) Almighty God in his family, and he considers all the family deities as constituting all his glory and wealth. In this way he, the one, interrupted in his preceding birth in the performance of the ‘Yoga’ (yogabhraṣṭha) secures merit, and enjoying the growing wealth of happiness, abides happily in this birth.
