इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥ २-६७॥
So many diversions are there. Journey in the boat (all our activities). Oscillation of the mind - wind. Scriptural knowledge is disturbed by the oscillation of the mind. It happens when the mind is pulled by the इन्द्रिय .
What should we do then?
तस्माद्यस्य महाबाहो निगृहीतानि सर्वशः ।
इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेभ्यस्तस्य प्रज्ञा प्रतिष्ठिता ॥ २-६८॥
It can be done in small steps. Make an effort towards it. Slowly.
Good acts offer to the परमात्मा. We must not hurt the good people.
