The Yoga of Knowledge

Krishna contrasts two intellects: vyavasāyātmikā buddhi (resolute) and avyavasāyinām buddhi (irresolute). The determined person has single-pointed focus—their intellect unified toward liberation through dharma. The wavering mind branches endlessly across desires, fears, and distractions. This isn't about being narrow-minded; it's about having one clear center that organizes everything else. Without this unified direction, your mind dissipates energy in infinite directions, achieving little.
