You have the right to act...
A guided meditation on this verse: settle, breathe with its meaning, rest in silence, and carry its essence into your day.
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् |
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते ||६-३५||
śrībhagavānuvāca .
asaṃśayaṃ mahābāho mano durnigrahaṃ calam .
abhyāsena tu kaunteya vairāgyeṇa ca gṛhyate ||6-35||
Krishna agrees but offers hope: "You are absolutely right, Arjuna — the mind is very hard to control and very restless. But it can be done through two things: consistent practice and letting go of attachment."

Settle
The mind is restless and difficult to control, yet it can be steadied through persistent, gentle practice rather than through force or coercion.
The essence
Practice and letting go, not force.
Breathe
You return to gentle practice You loosen your grip
Contemplate
Where are you using force where patience would serve better?
Take with you
Write of one place you could trade willpower for gentle practice.
