Explanation Ch 04 – śloka 39-40:
Much of the knowledge is profound and not easily perceptible. By rigorously practising the teachings of the scriptures and surrendering to the guru with complete faith, the seeker experiences the Truth. Those who do not have this faith and perseverance do not realise the Truth even after several lifetimes.

Meaning Ch 04 – śloka 39-40:
One who is full of śraddhā (faith), who is devoted and whose senses are controlled, attains [this] wisdom. Having attained the wisdom, one immediately attains supreme peace.

The ignorant one, who has no śraddhā (faith) and who doubts [the Truth] comes to ruin. For the sceptical ones, there is no happiness either in this world or the next.
