If thou art unable to fix thy mind steadily on Me, then by the Yoga of constant practice do thou seek to reach Me, O Arjuna.

If you cannot hold your thought steadily on me, then seek to reach me by the yoga of practice, Dhananjaya.

If Arjuna cannot keep his mind steadily on Krishna, he should seek to reach him through abhyāsa-yoga, the yoga of practice (abhyāsa). Practice means patiently and repeatedly bringing the mind back to its object. This echoes the earlier teaching that the restless mind is mastered by practice and dispassion. The verse acknowledges that continuous absorption is not easy, and offers a disciplined method to approach it step by step. No one is turned away for lacking natural steadiness.
