Verse 33
The Yoga of Meditation
Arjuna said: O Madhusudana, the system of yoga which You have summarized appears impractical and unendurable to me, for the mind is restless and unsteady.
Context & Meaning
Arjuna honestly admits what every practitioner feels: this yoga of equanimity sounds ideal but seems impossible. The mind is inherently restless — he cannot see how to hold it steady. This is not weakness; it is honest self-observation.
