Translator:
Soon he becomes righteous and attains eternal peace; O Arjuna, proclaim thou for certain that My devotee never perishes.
A Reading - Rantideb
Why: they quickly become righteous and attain lasting peace, know for certain, Arjuna, that my devotee never perishes, again emphasizing the speed and reliability of this transformation once someone genuinely commits to it.
In life: genuine, committed change in a person can happen faster than the slow, doubtful timeline we often assume it requires.
Teaching: don't assume your own or someone else's genuine change has to follow a long, doubtful timeline, sustained sincere commitment can produce real change faster than expected.
