Chapter 6: Dhyana Yoga

meditation

Krishna describes how to practise meditation: a steady seat, moderation in food, sleep and effort, and a mind brought gently back each time it wanders. Arjuna admits the mind seems as hard to hold as the wind. Krishna agrees it is hard but says practice and detachment can steady it, and that no sincere effort is ever wasted.

The mind can be your friend or your enemy, and training decides which.
