कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति। अप्रतिष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मणः पथि।।6.38।।

kachchin nobhaya-vibhraṣhṭaśh chhinnābhram iva naśhyati apratiṣhṭho mahā-bāho vimūḍho brahmaṇaḥ pathi

Meaning

When you abandon your commitments halfway, you lose direction and support. Stay committed to your chosen path; inconsistency leads to failure and confusion.

Translation

O Mighty-armed one, having fallen from both [paths], without support, deluded on the path to Brahman, does he not get ruined like a scattered cloud?
