**Meaning:** Even if the mind is still, it becomes restless due to Rajoguna (attachment). Therefore, the wise person pulls it back and controls it, which is further explained in the following verse. ||14||
**Meaning:** Gradually attain calmness (peace) with the help of a mind controlled by fortitude (steadiness or contentment). Then, by placing the mind in the Self, there is no need to think about anything else. ||15||
**Meaning:** Wherever the restless and unstable mind wanders, restrain it from there and bring it under the control of the Self. These two verses from the Gita explain the methods of concentrating the mind. In this way, the yogi, while moving from one subject to another, gradually controls the fickle mind (which has the nature of grasping other subjects) by restraining it from the distractions (thoughts) that arise and by binding it with the rope of knowledge.
