Why: or one might be born into a family of wise yogis, though such a birth is rare and difficult to obtain in this world, adding a second, even more specific favorable outcome for someone who fell short before.
In life: it's worth noticing how thoroughly this section is designed to remove fear from an incomplete attempt, offering not one but two positive continuations.
Teaching: if you're currently mid-attempt at something difficult and uncertain you'll finish, remember that even a partial, sincere effort is being treated here as valuable, not wasted, in either outcome described.
