Bhagavad Gita 6.34
चञ्चलं हि मनः कृष्ण प्रमाथि बलवद्दृढम्। तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम्॥
chañchalaṁ hi manaḥ kṛiṣhṇa pramāthi balavad dṛiḍham tasyāhaṁ nigrahaṁ manye vāyor iva su-duṣhkaram
Translation
For the mind is verily restless, O Krishna; it is impetuous, strong and difficult to bend. I deem it as hard to curb as the wind.
What it means
"The mind is restless, impetuous, strong and hard to bend; I think restraining it is as hard as restraining the wind." Krishna does not dispute the diagnosis - He answers it.
Try this today
A celebrated complaint: the mind as wind - something you can feel but not grab.
Something to reflect on
Do I treat my restless mind as a diagnosis to accept or a wind to work with?
