Gita 6.44

Poorvaabhyaasen, ten, ev, hiyate, hi, avashH, api, saH,
JigyaasuH, api, yogasya, shabdbrahm, ativartate ||44||

Translation: (SaH) that worshipper deviated from the path (avashH) helpless by nature (api) also (ten) that (poorvaabhyaasen) by the previous practice (ev) only, in reality (hiyate) is attracted by (hi) because (yogasya) of the bhakti of God (jigyaasuH) a person inquisitive (api) also (shabdbrahm) the method of bhakti of God which is mentioned in the holy scriptures, by not worshipping according to that method, distracted due to the previous nature by not doing the jaap of that real naam, the speech-like order of God (ativartate) violates. Because out of previous nature again becomes deviated. (44)

Gita 6.44: That worshipper deviated from the path, helpless by nature, in reality, is attracted by that previous practice only because a person inquisitive of the bhakti of God also by not worshipping according to the method of bhakti of God mentioned in the holy scriptures, distracted due to the previous nature, by not doing the jaap of that real naam, violates the speech-like order of God. Because out of previous nature he again becomes deviated. Therefore in Gita Chapter 7 Verse 16-17 an inquisitive person has not been said to be good. Only a knowledgeable devotee who does bhakti of one God is said to be the best. It is also evident in Gita Chapter 18 Verse 58.
