Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 12 verse 9

 Chapter 12 verse 9 

“If you are unable to fix your mind steadily on Me, O Arjuna, then practice remembering Me with devotion while constantly restraining the mind from worldly affairs.” 

The new born child does not know immediately to talk, walk and find their food themselves. They crawl, walk and then run. Likewise, beings cannot immediately fix their mind on the divine and that act needs a lot of practice. But they say “Practice makes perfect” and that perfection is what all of us needs to strive for. Controlling the mind from external stimuli is very hard but not impossible. With the mind and intellect starting to focus all the time on divine by surrendering all thoughts and feelings to Him, one gets the wisdom to detach themselves from their emotions, feelings and thoughts.
