O mighty-armed one! The mind is indeed very difficult to control, like a strong army of enemies. But, O son of Kunti, it can be controlled by practice and detachment.
It is my opinion that yoga is difficult to attain for one whose mind is not controlled. But, O Arjuna, for one whose mind is controlled, it can be attained by means of effort.
All this is appropriate for one whose mind is filled with contemplation, when, through repeated experiences of similar objects, one becomes free from desire for external objects.
A place free from women, animals, thieves, and wicked people should be sought out for meditation, especially during the time of meditation. This is always prescribed for the ascetics.
