Arjuna Uvaacha

Yo’yam yogastwayaa proktah saamyena madhusoodana;
Etasyaaham na pashyaami chanchalatwaat sthitim sthiraam.

Arjuna said

33. This Yoga of equanimity taught by Thee, O Krishna, I do not see its steady continuance,
because of restlessness (of the mind)!

Chanchalam hi manah krishna pramaathi balavad dridham;
Tasyaaham nigraham manye vaayoriva sudushkaram.

34. The mind verily is restless, turbulent, strong and unyielding, O Krishna! I deem it as
difficult to control as to control the wind.
