Krishna said

तत्रैकाग्रं मनः कृत्वा यतचित्तेन्द्रियक्रियः।उपविश्यासने युञ्ज्याद्योगमात्मविशुद्धये ॥6.12॥

tatraikāgraṃ manaḥ kṛtvā yatacittendriyakriyaḥupaviśyāsane yuñjyādyogamātmaviśuddhaye

Meaning

Sitting on that seat, making the mind one-pointed and keeping thoughts, senses and actions under control, one should practise yoga to purify oneself.

हिंदी में अर्थ

उस आसन पर बैठकर, मन को एकाग्र करके और विचारों, इंद्रियों तथा क्रियाओं को वश में रखते हुए, आत्मशुद्धि के लिए योग का अभ्यास करना चाहिए।

Practise it today

Sit in your quiet spot for five minutes and gently bring your attention back to one point, such as the breath, each time it wanders. Count how often you return.

Reflect tonight

How many times did your mind wander in those five minutes? Did returning get any easier?
