Transliteration
tāni sarvāṇi sanyamya yukta āsīta mat-paraḥ vaśhe hi yasyendriyāṇi tasya prajñā pratiṣhṭhitā
In plain words
You're drowning in too many directions at once — your mind pulled by fear, your body pulled by craving, your heart pulled by what you can't control. Krishna says: gather yourself back. The scattered mind cannot heal, cannot decide, cannot love well. When you return to yourself — even for one conscious breath — wisdom becomes possible again.
Word by Word
When the senses are gathered like wild horses into the chariot of conscious mastery, the intellect finds its unshakeable foundation. This is not suppression but sacred alignment — turning every sense-faculty toward the Divine presence within.
In our scattered age of endless stimulation, this verse invites us to reclaim our sensory experience as a gateway to profound wisdom, not as a prison of distraction.
