Bhagavad Gita 6.45

प्रयत्नाद्यतमानस्तु योगी संशुद्धकिल्बिषः।अनेकजन्मसंसिद्धस्ततो याति परां गतिम्॥

prayatnādyatamānastu yogī saṃśuddhakilbiṣaḥ |anekajanmasaṃsiddhastato yāti parāṃ gatim ||

But the Yogi who strives assiduously, purified of sins and perfected gradually over many births, reaches the highest goal.

Then, after many lives of earnest striving and absolution of sins, the student of spirituality attains perfection and reaches the Supreme.

Our plain-language meaning of this verse is waiting for scholar review.
