Thisanarjun has understood this whole teaching because he uses the key word christna. This yoga you have taught as samena, the one same vision of divinity everywhere. Fine, doesn't work. Why not? He says, changala twat titing stiramBecause of the wavering, the fickle, th restless nature of the mind. That's my object my objection. It's all wonderful as wonderful sentiment, the oneness of all existence. But the mind is the problem. Urgune is very practical. He narrows it down to the problematic component in this whole scheme,. What is the problem with the mind?
The mind is very restless, turbulent, strong and obstinate, O Krishna. It appears to me that it is more difficult to control than the wind" - Bhagavad Gita (6.34)
"Lord Krishna said: O mighty-armed son of Kunti, what you say is correct; the mind is indeed very difficult to restrain. But by practice and detachment, it can be controlled" - Bhagavad Gita (6.35)
Inspired by these verses, Swami Sarvapriyananda provides invaluable guidance on improving our meditation.
