Kṛṣṇa explains that it is possible to achieve control over the mind

6.37

अर्जुन उवाच ।
योऽयं योगस्त्वया प्रोक्तः साम्येन मधुसूदन ।
एतस्याहं न पश्यामि चञ्चलत्वात्स्थितिं स्थिराम्
॥६-३७॥

arjuna uvāca ayatiḥ śraddhayopeto yogāc
calita mānasaḥ aprāpya yoga-saṁsiddhiṁ
kāṁ gatiṁ kṛṣṇa gacchati

Arjuna says: O Kṛṣṇa, if a person is
engaged in yoga with faith but does not
attain yoga because of the wavering
mind, what destination does he achieve?

POWERFUL COGNITION

When we start off, we will face failure in our attempts to control and complete with the mind – even then it is possible to attain the Divine Consciousness

6.38

कच्चिन्नोभयविभ्रष्टश्छिन्नाभ्रमिव नश्यति ।
अप्रतिष्ठो महाबाहो विमूढो ब्रह्मणः पथि
॥ ६=३८॥

kaccinnobhayavibhraṣṭaś
chinnābhramiva naśyati apratiṣṭho
mahābāho vimūḍho brahmaṇaḥ pathi O
mighty-armed

Kṛṣṇa, does the person who deviated
from the path perish, torn like a cloud
without any position?

POWERFUL COGNITION

If we move our body with the thought of bliss, the bliss emotion gets ingrained in our system

6.39

एतन्मे संशयं कृष्ण छेत्तुमर्हस्यशेषतः ।
त्वदन्यः संशयस्यास्य छेत्ता न ह्युपपद्यते
॥ ६-३९॥

etanme saṁśayaṁ kṛṣṇa
chettumarhasyaśeṣataḥ tvadanyaḥ
saṁśayasyāsya chettā na hyupapadyate

This is my doubt, O Kṛṣṇa and I request
You to dispel it completely. Certainly,
there is no one to be found other than
You who can remove this doubt

POWERFUL COGNITION

it is possible to achieve Self-realization by stilling the mind if one intensely practices the appropriate techniques

६.४०

श्रीभगवानुवाच ।
पार्थ नैवेह नामुत्र विनाशस्तस्य विद्यते ।
न हि कल्याणकृत्कश्चिद् दुर्गतिं तात गच्छति
॥ ६-४० ॥

śrībhagavānuvāca pārtha naiveha
nāmutra vināśastasya vidyate na hi
kalyāṇakṛtkaścid durgatiṁ tāta gacchati

Bhagavān says: O Pārtha, the person
engaged in activities for good does not
meet with destruction either in this
world or the next life; he never faces
degradation

POWERFUL COGNITION

Kṛṣṇa assures Arjuna by saying that there is no destruction either in this life or the next life for one who is on the right path
