Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 26

Krishna said

यतो यतो निश्चरति मनश्चञ्चलमस्थिरम्।ततस्ततो नियम्यैतदात्मन्येव वशं नयेत् ॥6.26॥

yato yato niścarati manaścañcalamasthiramtatastato niyamyaitadātmanyeva vaśaṃ nayet

Meaning

Wherever the restless, unsteady mind wanders off, from there one should bring it back and place it under control in the Self alone.

हिंदी में अर्थ

यह चंचल और अस्थिर मन जहाँ-जहाँ भटके, वहाँ-वहाँ से उसे रोककर बार-बार आत्मा में ही वापस लाकर वश में करना चाहिए।

Practise it today

While studying or working today, keep a slip of paper nearby. Each time your mind drifts, make a small tick and gently return to the page.

Reflect tonight

How many ticks did you make today? Were you kinder to yourself about wandering by the end?
