Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6- Koramangala

Sloka 42
If Yogabhrashta (योगभ्रष्ट) cannot get the best setup as above, he will be born in a cultured family which is not wealthy.In this setup, he can continue his sadhana. This setup of only cultured without much wealth is also rare and difficult to get. This is the second best available for a yogabhrashta.
Sloka 43
Whatever sadhana had been done in his earlier Janma, is fully available for him in the present birth. One need not have the fear of losing the earlier janma's efforts.
Manu Smruti says - It is an advice to all - Irrespective of age, one should not stop learning, even it may not be useful for the present. Whatever learnt will be useful in following janma(s). From the earlier Janma's point, (present Janma's start), One has to put more efforts to attain Moksham.
Sloka 44
Some one who is born in different culture, is drawn to spirituality due to his  earlier Janma Sadhana. This can be seen  with the foreigners who come to India to learn Gita and other texts. The person, who has irresistible desire,crosses the karma phalam of veda chanting also. Religion does not change the character of the person,but it brings him closer to spirituality.
One needhi Sloka says that it is not possible for a (ratham) chariot to move with one wheel. Similarly without the two wheels of Deivam and prayatanam, the life chariot cannot move smoothly. Deivam is mentioned as prarabdam, which is also required with ones efforts, for success. In Mahabharata, Karna is an example . He could not succeed in spite of all his ability and efforts, as he was not having the grace of Lord.
Sloka 45
With great sincerity, one has to continue his efforts in spirituality.One becomes mature and objective in due course. Objectivity refers to the ability to accept the facts, irrespective of one's likes and dislikes.The efforts has to be continued (may be) for many janmas, after which  one attains Moksha.
Sloka 46
Yogi is better than all other persons doing sadhanas. Here yogi means the person with maturity ansd objectivity. All sadhanas are done aiming at siddha shuddhi (maturity).Sadhana may be dhanam, yatra, etc. Yogi is better than scholarly persons. He is better than the persons committed to religious rituals. So, Arjuna,set the target to become a yogi.
Sloka 47
Even among all yogis, whoever worships me (Bhagavan) with full faith and sincerity, he is considered by me  as the best among all .
With this the sixth chapter of Dyana yoga comes to an end.
