If that's too hard, practise

atha cittaṃ samādhātuṃ na śaknoṣi mayi sthiramabhyāsayogena tato māmicchāptuṃ dhanañjaya

If you cannot hold your mind steady in Me, then seek to reach Me through the yoga of practice, Dhananjaya.

What it means

Here begins one of the kindest sequences in the Gita. Krishna knows not everyone can keep their mind steady on him. So he offers a second step. Abhyasa yoga, the path of practice. Keep returning, a little every day. Practice will build what you can't yet do naturally.

The story

Krishna doesn't demand perfection. He builds a ladder. If you can't reach the top rung, step on the next one down. This compassion runs through the next three verses.

In your life

Imagine someone who can't meditate for an hour, so they start with five minutes every morning. A year later, it's natural. If the ideal feels too high, start with daily practice.
