Even if they can say it, they do not have faith in it. Some people, even though they are interested in scriptures like the Bhagavad-gita, do not believe in or worship the Supreme Lord, Lord Krishna. Such people have no place in Krishna consciousness. They fall down. Among all the above, those who are not interested and are always full of doubts cannot make any progress. No good thing happens to people who do not have faith in God and His words, either in this world or in the next. They have no happiness. Therefore, one should diligently follow the rules of the authentic scriptures and thus reach the point of knowledge. Only this knowledge helps one in reaching the divine realm of spiritual realization. In other words, people who are full of doubts have no chance of spiritual liberation. That is why one should follow the teachings of the great teachers in the Guru Parampara and achieve success in that way.

The work of yoga sannyasa is a work of knowledge, a work of self-realization, a work of self-realization, a work of wealth.
Yoga – by devotional service in the yoga of action; one who has given up sannyasa; karmanam – the results of action; jnana – by knowledge; sanchinna – having destroyed; samsayam – doubts; atmavantam – remaining in the self; karmani – actions; na nibadhnanti – not bound; dhananjaya – O conqueror of wealth.
He who abandons the fruits of his actions and engages in devotional yoga, who has destroyed all doubts through divine knowledge, remains truly established in the soul. O Dhananjaya! He is not bound by the fruits of his actions.
Purport: One who follows the instructions of the Bhagavad-gita, as spoken by the Supreme Lord Himself, is freed from all doubts by the mercy of transcendental knowledge. In full devotional service to the Supreme Lord, he is already situated in self-realization. Therefore, he is undoubtedly free from the bonds of causality.
The mind is devoid of knowledge and wisdom, the mind is devoid
Tasmat – therefore; ajñāna-sambhūtam – born of ignorance, the heart is in the heart; jñāna – knowledge; asīna – by the sword; atmanah – the soul’s chitva – having destroyed; esam – this; samsāyam – doubt; yogam – in yoga; atishta – standing; utthistha – rising up and fighting; Bharata, O descendant of Bharata.
Therefore, refute with the sword of knowledge the doubts that arise in the heart due to ignorance. O Bharata! You must rise up and fight, endowed with yoga.
Purport: The yoga system taught in this chapter is called Sanatana Yoga, or eternal action performed by the living entity. In this yoga, there are two classes of sacrificial acts. One is called the sacrificial act of material possessions, and the other is called the pure spiritual act of self-knowledge. If the sacrificial act of material possessions is not combined with spiritual experience, it becomes material. But one who performs such sacrificial acts with a spiritual aim, that is, with devotional yoga, performs a perfect sacrificial act. Now, if we take the spiritual acts, we find that they are also divided into two. They are understanding the self (one’s own nature) and understanding the truth about God. One who follows the path of the Bhagavad-gita as it is, can easily understand these two important classes of spiritual knowledge. It is not at all difficult for him to attain perfect knowledge of the self as the divine. Such understanding is very beneficial. Because such an interest can easily understand the divine activities of the Lord. In the beginning of this chapter, the divine activities of the Lord were discussed by the Lord Himself. One who does not understand the instructions of the Gita becomes careless. He is considered to be abusing the subtle freedom given by the Lord. One who, despite all these instructions, cannot understand the real nature of the Supreme Lord as eternal, blissful, and omnipresent, is truly a fool. Ignorance is removed by gradually accepting the principles of Krishna consciousness. Krishna consciousness is awakened through the sacrifice of various deity sacrifices, the activities of Parabrahma and Brahma, household life, sense control, austerity, renunciation of material possessions, study of the Vedas, and the establishment
