Abhyasa-Yoga.
अथ चित्तं समाधातुं न शक्नोषि मयि स्थिरम् ।
अभ्यासयोगेन ततो मामिच्छाप्तुं धनञ्जय ॥ ९ ॥
atha cittaṃ samādhātuṃ na śaknoṣi mayi sthiram .
abhyāsayogena tato māmicchāptuṃ dhanañjaya .. 9 ..
If thou art unable to fix thy thought steadily on Me, then by yoga of constant practice do thou seek to reach Me, O Dhanañjaya.
Read the commentary
If you cannot fix your thought on Me steadily in the manner I have mentioned, then seek thou to reach Me in the Universal Form, by yoga of constant practice (abhyasa-yoga). Practice (abhyasa) consists in withdrawing thought from all quarters and fixing it again and again on one particular object ‘Abhyasa-yoga’ means samadhana or steadfastness of mind acquired by such practice.
