Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 2 verse 67


Chapter 2 verse 67

“For, the mind which follows in the wake of the wandering senses carries away his discrimination, as the wind carries away a boat on the waters”

The biggest issue in meditation is the ability to control the mind and its thoughts. One can traverse the world in our thoughts while being in one place. This is a beautiful example by Krishna of the ability of the mind to drift away listlessly just like the boat drifts in the wind in the waters with gay abandon. There is nothing much to say about this but lots to experience. I am personally struggling to get my mind under control during daily bouts of meditation. All bookish knowledge is useless until this mind control happens. Seeking divine grace for mind control!
