TRANSLATION

Arjuna said: O Madhusudana, the system of yoga which You have summarized appears impractical and unendurable to me, for the mind is restless and unsteady.

JOURNAL:

I have found hints that help my japa in these previous verses about the eight-fold yoga system but, like Arjuna, I find it on the whole to be most impractical. Srila Prabhupada agrees. He writes in his purport; In fact, we do not find any record in history of his (Arjuna) practicing it at any time. Therefore this system must be considered generally impossible in this Age of Kali. Of course it may be possible for some very few, rare men, but for the people in general it is an impossible proposal.
