इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते ।
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥
तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥
हिन्दी अनुवाद
अपनेअपने विषयोंमें विचरती हुई इन्द्रियोंमेंसे एक ही इन्द्रिय जिस मनको अपना अनुगामी बना लेती है, वह अकेला मन जलमें नौकाको वायुकी तरह इसकी बुद्धिको हर लेता है ॥
English
As the winds carry a boat on water, even one roaming sense can sweep away the mind's discernment.
श्लोक का अर्थ
If even one sense runs after its objects, it can pull the mind along and destroy clear judgment, like wind pushing a boat off course.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On Kurukshetra, Arjuna is still frozen, and Krishna is showing why inner control matters before action begins. Even one sense chasing its object can drag the mind away and sink discernment, just as wind overturns a boat.
आज के संदर्भ में
You open one app “for a minute,” then your focus is gone. A single unchecked pull can scatter the whole mind before you notice.
सार
A small lapse of attention can undo a lot of inner steadiness.
