What if your spiritual journey didn’t start in this lifetime? And what if the effort you’re making now is actually picking up where you left off before?


In the final verses of Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6 (texts 45–47), Krishna paints a hopeful, expansive vision of spiritual growth. He explains how even if someone falters, they’re never truly lost — because the soul carries forward its progress across lifetimes. These verses are a powerful reminder that sincere spiritual practice is never in vain.


We also explore what it means to be the “best yogi,” and how bhakti — a heart-centered path of devotion — makes the seemingly impossible journey feel not only possible, but personal.


If you’ve ever wondered whether your efforts matter, or if you're falling behind, this episode offers grounding encouragement: nothing is lost, and you’re closer than you think.
