But if, as I have told you, you are not able to fix the mind on Me, to set it firm and unmoving, then, thereafter, by the yoga of practice seek to reach Me, the universal form, O Dhanañjaya. Practice is the repeated placing of the mind, drawn in from every side, upon one single support; the yoga, marked as composure, that has that for its precursor is the yoga of practice; by it seek, pray, to attain Me.

But if you are not able all at once to set the mind steadily on Me, then wish to attain Me by the discipline of practice. By the discipline of the practice of remembrance, with an excess of love within it, of Me, who am the ocean of countless auspicious qualities, the natural, unsurpassed, and limitless beauty, gracious accessibility, kindness, tender love, compassion, sweetness, depth, generosity, heroism, might, prowess, all-knowingness, being-of-true-desire, being-of-true-resolve, being-the-Lord-of-all, being-the-cause-of-all, and the rest, the very opposite of everything to be shunned, having gained a steady concentration of the mind, wish to attain Me.
