यतो यतो निश्चरति मनश्चञ्चलमस्थिरम् |
ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत् ||26||
ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत् ||26||
Wherever the restless mind wanders, restraining it, one should bring it back under control and focus it on the self.
- Niścarati: Wanders or deviates.
- Vaśam: Control or mastery.
Krishna acknowledges the wandering nature of the mind, offering reassurance that bringing it back to focus is part of the yogic journey. This verse normalizes struggle in meditation.
