The Blessed Lord said O Arjuna, neither in this world, nor in the next world is there destruction for him; none, verily, who does good, O My son, ever comes to grief.

The Lord said: Son of Pritha, there is no ruin for him either in this world or in the next, for no one who does good, my friend, comes to a bad end.

Krishna answers with warmth, calling Arjuna tāta, a tender word used for a son or a dear friend. There is no ruin for such a person, either in this world or in the next. No one who does good ever comes to a bad end. The verse is a firm statement of moral and spiritual continuity: effort made in good faith is never lost. This reassurance has comforted generations of readers who fear that their own spiritual attempts are too weak to count.
