The Blessed Lord said: Without doubt, mighty-armed one, the mind is hard to restrain and unsteady; but by practice, Arjuna, and by detachment it can be brought under control.
श्रीभगवानुवाच | असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् | अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ||६-३५||
The Bhagavad Gita, translated and commentated by S. Radhakrishnan, is one of the most scholarly and accessible English renderings of Hinduism's most beloved scripture — the dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Radhakrishnan, philosopher and statesman, brings both rigorous intellectual insight and genuine spiritual depth to his translation and notes. This edition is treasured for its ability to illuminate the Gita's universal spiritual teaching across cultural and philosophical boundaries.
Everything depends upon the mind. The pure mind acquires a new attitude.
The mind does not become tranquil until it is connected to the ever-peaceful Supreme Being.
Thought is a bird of space that can spread its wings in a cage of words, but cannot fly.
sin confines it in hell. Sin is also an eternity of hell, for eternity is in the will, and were it not in the will, it would not be in the consciousness.
