Bhagavad Gita 12.9
अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम्।अभ्यासयोगेन ततो मामिच्छाप्तुं धनञ्जय॥
atha chittaṁ samādhātuṁ na śhaknoṣhi mayi sthiram abhyāsa-yogena tato mām ichchhāptuṁ dhanañjaya
Translation
And if thou art not able firmly to fix thy mind on Me, then by the yoga of practice seek to reach Me, O Dhananjaya.
What it means
If you cannot fix your mind steadily on Me, then seek to reach Me by the yoga of repeated practice. The ladder's first rung is practice. Failure to focus is not disqualification; it is the starting condition.
Try this today
First fallback: if direct fixation is too hard, practice repeatedly. Repetition substitutes for capacity.
Something to reflect on
If I cannot fix my mind directly, am I willing to just repeat?
