Spiegazione

Arjuna describes the mind in four strong words: restless, turbulent, powerful and stubborn. To hold it in check, he says, seems as hard as holding the wind. The comparison is vivid and true to experience, since the wind can neither be grasped nor stopped. Arjuna's honesty sets up one of the Gita's most practical answers. His complaint is not a sign of weakness but of seriousness; he has understood that the teaching asks for a real change of mind, not just agreement.
