Word by Word
Krishna teaches that meditation is not a leap but a descent—gradual, patient, secured by the intellect that has surrendered to dharma. You do not force the mind into stillness; you gently anchor it in the Self through determined practice, letting go of every other thought like leaves falling from a tree.
In our distracted modern life, this verse gives permission to begin exactly where you are, trusting that small, consistent returns to inner awareness compound into lasting transformation.
