CHAPTER 6 The Yog of Meditation असंयतात्मना योगो दुष्प्राप इति मे मति:। वश्यात्मना तु यतता शक्योऽवाप्तुमुपायत:॥36॥ [ “ It is my firm conviction that while the attainment of yog is most difficult for a man who fails to restrain his mind, it is easy for him who is his own master and active in the performance of the required action.’’ ] The achievement of yog is not really so difficult as Arjun has assumed. It is difficult, indeed impossible, for the man with an unrestrained mind. But it is within the reach of one who has disciplined his thoughts and feelings, and is enterprising. So, Arjun should not abandon his endeavour for yog just because of his fear that it is something impossible to achieve. Yet, he responds rather despairingly to the encouragement as we may see from his next question.
