If the mere desire to know the Yoga leads to Mukti, then it would mean that the practice of Yoga is unnecessary. So the Lord points out that Mukti cannot result from that alone, but that in many a life it has to be practised.

But endeavoring with great effort (making endeavors when he has known what Yoga is) he becomes the Yogi destitute of all evil and becomes accomplished through many lives; thereupon he reaches the highest goal
