Verse 36

The Yoga of Meditation

For one whose mind is unbridled, self-realization is difficult work. But he whose mind is controlled and who strives by appropriate means is assured of success. That is My opinion.

Context & Meaning

For the undisciplined mind, yoga is hard to attain — Krishna agrees with Arjuna's difficulty. But for one who strives with a controlled mind and uses the right means (abhyasa and vairagya), success is assured. The path is hard but certain.
