Say it slowly
Yato yato nishchalati
Manash chanchalam asthiram
Tatas tato niyamyaitad
Atmany eva vasham nayet
Bhagavad Gita 6.26
What Krishna means
The mind can be restless and unsteady. Wherever it wanders, bring it back under the guidance of the Self.
Returning is part of the practice. Keep doing it with patience.
A small practice today
Give one quiet minute your attention.
When a thought carries you away, notice it. Return to your chosen focus.
Repeat without scolding yourself. Each return is another chance to practise.
