Chapter 2 • Verse 41

व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरुनन्दन। बहुशाखा ह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम्॥

vyavasāyātmikā buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana bahu-śhākhā hy anantāśh cha buddhayo 'vyavasāyinām

Meaning

Those who are resolute have single-pointed determination. But the intellect of the irresolute is many-branched and endless.

Focus is everything. The determined mind has one goal; the scattered mind has endless goals. Indecision dissipates energy. Choose a path and commit fully.

Strength Reflection

"I commit fully to my chosen path, avoiding the paralysis of endless options."

Devotional Surrender

O Krishna, give me single-pointed devotion to You, free from the confusion of many branches.
