English Translation - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
6.34. O Krsna !  The mind is indeed unsteady, destructive, strong and obstinate; to control it, I  believe, is very difficult, just as to control the wind.


English Translation of Commentary  - Dr. S. Sankaranarayan
6.33-34 Yo Yam etc.  Cancalam etc.  By this and  which,  the two words denoting  [respectively]  what is actually  perceived and what is  not perceived, the following is indicated :  Thanks  to the series of methods  spoken just before by the Bhagavat, the Brahman is of course  clear and has been no doubt  shown as if by perception.  Yet, It remains at agreat  distance due to the unsteadiness and wickedness of the mind,  and It behaves as if  It is beyond perception.  [Destructive] :  The mind destroys both the visible and invisible [ends of mans action].  Strong : Powerful.  Obstinate :  impossible  to ward off from evil acts.
