Śarīrin, Buddhi, and the Limits of Sense-Perception (इन्द्रियबुद्धिशरीरिविचारः)
अनिर्वेदो गतक्लेशो गततन्द्रिरमत्सरी । समाददध्यात् पुनश्चेतो ध्यानेन ध्यानयोगवित्
anirvedo gatakleśo gatatandrir amatsarī | samādadadhyāt punaś ceto dhyānena dhyānayogavit ||
Wika ni Bhishma: Kapag nalilihis ang isip, ang nakaaalam sa disiplina ng pagninilay ay hindi dapat malugmok sa panghihina ng loob o madaganan ng dalamhati. Itakwil ang katamaran at inggit, at muling tipunin at patatagin ang isip sa pamamagitan ng pagninilay.

Educational Q&A
A meditator should respond to distraction without discouragement: abandon lethargy and envy, and deliberately re-collect the mind through meditation.
In the Shanti Parva’s instruction on dharma and inner discipline, Bhishma advises the listener on practical conduct for meditation—how to regain concentration when the mind wanders.
