Cancalam hi manah krsna pramathi balavad drdham!
tasyaham nigraham manye vayoriva suduskaram!!
O Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent with passions, very powerful and tenacious. I think it is as difficult to control as the wind.
Sri Bhagavanuvaca.
asamsayam mahabaho mano durnigraham calam!
abhyasena tu kaunteya vairagyena ca grhyate!!
The Blessed Lord said.
O Partha, the mind is doubtless fickle and difficult to control, but it is not impossible to steady it. By the practice of meditation and by dispassion it is subdued.
Dispassion prevents the acquisition of fresh vasanas or tendencies, while meditation does not allow the past tendencies to sprout up. When the mind is thus brought into a state of tranquility and equanimity, the self reveals itself. The mind which has so far been kept steady by an effort of will, will thereafter remain steady, absorbed in the self without any effort.
Asamyatatmana yogo dusprapa iti me matih!
vasyatmana tu yatata sakyo vaptumapayatah!!
For one who has not thoroughly subdued his mind, this yoga is impracticable; but i believe it is quiet easy for one who has brought his mind under complete control and steadily keeps on.
The Lord seems to suggest that diligence and intelligence should be coupled with self control to achieve perfection in yoga.
