You are not alone. God is with you.

Sankhya Yoga

Chapter 2, Verse 68

 

tasmād yasya mahābāho 

nigṛhītāni sarvaśaḥ 

indriyāṇīndriyārthebhyas 

tasya prajñā pratiṣṭhitā

 

Therefore, O mighty-armed, one who has utterly restrained the excitement  

of the senses by their objects, his intelligence sits firmly founded in calm  

Self-knowledge.

 

Again Krishna says, “One who is fully focused is centred in the Divine within oneself, and sees the Divine within oneself.” 

 

Krishna addresses Arjuna as ‘mahābāho’: “He who possesses long, stout, and powerful arms.” He says, “You are not weak, you are a great hero and a great fighter! It should not be difficult for you to subdue your mind, to have your mind under control. It should not be difficult for you to have your senses under control and tame them. So control the senses, Arjuna! Control the senses – sound, touch, taste, sight and smell – without any weaknesses. So move! Grow out of this excitement of the senses!”

 

The soul has enjoyed the senses throughout many lifetimes. The mind has kept the soul trapped due to this long uninterrupted enjoyment of the objects of the senses. Since the beginning of time, the senses have developed a natural attraction for their objects. So get the senses under control! Change them so that you can free yourself! Don’t let your mind be distracted by these impulses. They have always been there trying to stop you. Now move on! You are not alone. God is with you. When you focus your mind and your mind becomes stable, you will see that the Divine is there  

with you.
