Shloka 1 Sanskrit:
अर्जुन उवाच |
चञ्चलं हि मनः कृष्ण प्रमाथि बलवद् दृढम् |
तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम् ॥ ६.३४ ॥
Transliteration:
Arjuna uvācha:
Chañchalaṁ hi manaḥ kṛiṣhṇa pramāthi balavad dṛiḍham,
Tasyāhaṁ nigrahaṁ manye vāyor iva su-duṣhkaram.
Meaning:
Arjuna said: O Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate. Controlling it is as difficult as controlling the wind.
Explanation:
Arjuna openly shares his struggle — the mind is flickering, powerful, and stubborn. He compares controlling it to catching the wind. This honest confession makes Arjuna (and us) very relatable!

Shloka 2 Sanskrit:

असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् |
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ॥ ६.३५ ॥

Śhrī-bhagavān uvācha:
Asanśhayaṁ mahā-bāho mano durnigrahaṁ chalam,
Abhyāsena tu kaunteya vairāgyeṇa cha gṛihyate.
Meaning:
The Supreme Lord said: O mighty-armed one, undoubtedly the mind is difficult to control and restless. But it can be controlled by repeated practice (abhyasa) and detachment (vairagya).
Explanation:
Krishna acknowledges the difficulty but gives hope and a clear solution. Two powerful tools — regular practice and detachment from sense objects — can gradually bring the mind under control. No magic, just consistent effort!

Shloka 3 Sanskrit:
असंयतात्मना योगो दुष्प्राप इति मे मतिः |
वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्योऽवाप्तुमुपायतः ॥ ६.३६ ॥
Transliteration:
Asaṁyatātmanā yogo duṣhprāpa iti me matiḥ,
Vaśhyātmanā tu yatatā śhakyo ’vāptum upāyataḥ.
Meaning:
For one whose mind is uncontrolled, yoga is very difficult to attain. But for one who has mastered the mind and strives with proper means, it is possible to achieve.
Explanation:
Krishna is realistic: Without mind control, success in yoga is extremely hard. But the person who learns to discipline the mind and makes sincere effort can definitely reach the goal. Hope + action = success!

Today’s TakeawayThe mind is restless like the wind — but it can be tamed!
Don’t feel discouraged if your mind wanders during meditation. Accept the challenge, then use the two powerful keys Krishna gave: regular daily practice (abhyasa) and detachment (vairagya). With patience and effort, even the most restless mind can become steady. Progress is possible for everyone who tries sincerely!

Jai Shri Krishna!

"Krishna Sada Sahayate" (कृष्ण: सदा सहायते)
