Bhagavad Gita 6.33-34
Sanskrit
योऽयं योगस्त्वया प्रोक्तः साम्येन मधुसूदन । एतस्याहं न पश्यामि चञ्चलत्वात्स्थितिं स्थिराम् ॥6.33॥चञ्चलं हि मनः कृष्ण प्रमाथि बलवद् दृढम् । तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम् ॥6.34॥
Transliteration
yo'yaṃ yogastvayā proktaḥ sāmyena madhusūdana | etasyāhaṃ na paśyāmi cañcalatvātsthitiṃ sthirām ‖6.33‖ cañcalaṃ hi manaḥ kṛṣṇa pramāthi balavad dṛḍham | tasyāhaṃ nigrahaṃ manye vāyoriva suduṣkaram ‖6.34‖
Meaning
“Arjuna said: This yoga of equanimity which You have declared, O Madhusudana, I do not see its steady continuance, because of restlessness. For the mind is restless, O Krishna, turbulent, strong, obstinate; I deem it as hard to control as the wind.”
