Guest guest Posted January 19, 2010 Report Share Posted January 19, 2010 ARJUNA SAID: 33. This Yoga in equanimity, taught by Thee, O Destroyer of Madhu - I see not its steady continuance, because of the restlessness (of the mind). 34. The mind verily, is, O Krishna, restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate. Thereof the restraint I deem quite as difficult as that of the wind. THE BLESSED LORD SAID: 35. Doubtless, O mighty-armed, the mind is hard to restrain and restless; but by practice, O son of Kunti and by indifference it may be restrained. 36. Yoga, me thinks is hard to attain for a man of uncontrolled self; but by him who (often) strives, self-controlled, it can be acquired by (proper) means. ARJUNA SAID: 37. He who strives not, but who is possessed of faith, whose mind wanders away from Yoga - having failed to attain perfection in Yoga, what end, O Krishna, does he meet ? 38. Having failed in both, does he not perish like a riven cloud, supportless, O mighty-armed and perplexed in the path to Brahman ? 39. This doubt of mine, O Krishna, do Thou dispel completely; for none other than Thyself can possibly destroy this doubt. to be continued...
