Translations

Arjuna asked: What of him who fails to control himself, whose mind falls from spiritual contemplation, yet retains his faith and does not attain perfection?
Arjuna said, "O Krsna, what goal does one attain who, despite having faith, fails to achieve perfection in Yoga due to lack of diligence, and whose mind becomes deflected from Yoga?"

He has faith in the efficacy of Yoga but he is not able to control the senses and the mind. He has no concentration of mind.
