In Gita there are several times when Arjuna asks questions that even comes to our mind. In many ways, Arjuna extracts a lot of life lessons from Lord Sri Krishna with his very valuable questions. In 6.34 Arjuna again asks a profound question about how to control the mind.
In this verse, Arjuna asks that the mind is so turbulent and stubborn and it is so difficult to control it. It churns the same thoughts, so how to control it which is like holding the wind.
For which Lord Krishna agrees completely and says, definitely Mind is in reality very turbulent and difficult to handle. But you can do it with practice and detachment. It is possible by perseverance and practice.
चञ्चलं हि मन: कृष्ण प्रमाथि बलवद्दृढम् |
तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम् || 6-34||
श्रीभगवानुवाच |
असंशयं महाबाहो मनो दुर्निग्रहं चलम् |
अभ्यासेन तु कौन्तेय वैराग्येण च गृह्यते || 6-35||
