Or he is born in a family of even the wise Yogis; verily a birth like this is very difficult to obtain in this world.

Or he is born into a family of wise yogis itself; but a birth like that is harder to obtain in this world.

Krishna gives a second possibility. The one who fell from yoga may instead be born directly into a family of wise yogis. Such a birth, he says, is even rarer and harder to obtain. The point is that a home where spiritual practice is lived and understood offers the best possible start for someone resuming the path. The verse ranks the two kinds of birth: prosperity and purity are good, but an environment of wisdom is better still.
