Meaning
Yo, Arjuna, if you can't keep your mind on me, then try to reach me through constant practice.
Commentary
Bro, if you can't, like, totally focus on me, then, like, try to reach me through constant practice, no cap. It's all about that abhyasa yoga, fam. Abhyasa is, like, constantly practicing to keep your mind focused on one thing. It's about, like, repeatedly pulling your mind away from all the distractions and focusing it on one thing, like, the Self. It's also about, like, detaching yourself from all that fake stuff and connecting with your true self. If you can't, like, fully focus on the Lord all the time, then do it for a bit, at least. If your mind wanders, try to focus on the Lord through constant remembrance. Worship God's images, feel His presence. It'll help. Why did Krishna call Arjuna "Dhananjaya"? Arjuna, like, totally slayed and brought a ton of wealth for Yudhishthira's Rajasuya Yajna. For a dude with that much power, focusing his mind and getting spiritual wealth shouldn't be hard. That's what Krishna meant.
