Bhagavad Gita 12.9 — The path of practice

अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम्। अभ्यासयोगेन ततो मामिच्छाप्तुं धनञ्जय ॥

atha cittaṃ samādhātuṃ na śaknoṣi mayi sthiram | abhyāsayogena tato māmicchāptuṃ dhanañjaya ||

Meaning

If you cannot keep your mind steadily on me, then seek to reach me through regular practice, Arjuna.

In today's life

If focus does not come easily, a small daily habit of prayer or japa builds it over time.
