Bhagavad Gita 9.31

क्षिप्रं भवति धर्मात्मा शश्वच्छान्तिं निगच्छति। कौन्तेय प्रतिजानीहि न मे भक्तः प्रणश्यति॥

kṣhipraṁ bhavati dharmātmā śhaśhvach-chhāntiṁ nigachchhati kaunteya pratijānīhi na me bhaktaḥ praṇaśhyati

Translation

Speedily he becometh dutiful and goeth to eternal peace; O Kaunteya, know thou for certain that My devotee perisheth never.

What it means

Swiftly such a one becomes righteous and attains eternal peace; know for certain, My devotee is never lost. Transformation has a timetable, and it is fast. The guarantee is personal and absolute.

The public guarantee: speed of transformation, and a promise Krishna asks Arjuna to announce.

Something to reflect on

Do I believe people can transform quickly - and do I let them?
