श्रीभगवानुवाच । असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् । अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ॥ ३५ ॥
śhrī bhagavān uvācha asanśhayaṁ mahā-bāho mano durnigrahaṁ chalam abhyāsena tu kaunteya vairāgyeṇa cha gṛihyate
Translation
The Blessed Lord said: Without doubt, O mighty-armed one, the mind is restless and hard to control; but it can be restrained, O son of Kunti, by practice and by detachment.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
श्रीभगवान बोले: हे महाबाहो! निःसंदेह मन चंचल और कठिनता से वश में होने वाला है; परंतु हे कौन्तेय! यह अभ्यास और वैराग्य से वश में होता है।
Commentary
Krishna does not dismiss Arjun's difficulty — he agrees completely. Then he gives the two-part answer that became the foundation of yoga practice (also found in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras 1.12): abhyāsa, steady repeated practice, and vairāgya, letting go of attachment.
