Translations

Arjuna said: I do not see how I can attain this state of equanimity which You have revealed, owing to the restlessness of my mind.
Arjuna said, "O Madhusudana (Krsna), this Yoga that You have spoken of as sameness, I do not see its steady continuance due to the restlessness of the mind."
अर्जुन बोले -- हे मधुसूदन ! आपने समतापूर्वक जो यह योग कहा है, मनकी चञ्चलताके कारण मैं इस योगकी स्थिर स्थिति नहीं देखता हूँ।Commentary
As the mind is restless, impetuous and unsteady I find it difficult to practise this Yoga of eanimity declared by Thee. O my Lord? I cannot have steady concentration of the mind, as it wanders here and there in the twinkling of an eye.
