atha cittaṃ samādhātuṃ na śaknoṣi mayi sthiram |
abhyāsa-yogena tato mām-icchāptuṃ dhanañjaya || 9 ||

9. If now, you are unable to centre your mind on Me in deep meditation, then seek to reach Me,
O Arjuna (Dhananjaya), by the Yoga of constant Practice.

Commentary

“Now, if you are unable to focus your mind immediately on Me in deep meditation, then try to reach Me by the ‘Yoga of Constant Mindfulness’ (Abhyāsa Yoga) — that is, by practicing constant mindfulness, full of intense love, of the ocean of My manifold personal attributes of unlimited excellence such as beauty, affability, friendliness, affection, compassion, sweetness, majesty, magnanimity, fortitude, valour, omnipotence, omniscience, freedom from wants, accomplished of resolves, supreme sovereignty, the ultimate Cause of all, and of being the antithesis of all that is negative.”
