6.28.34

cañcalaṃ hi manaḥ kṛṣṇa pramāthi balavaddṛḍham |
tasyāhaṃ nigrahaṃ manye vāyoriva suduṣkaram || 34 ||

"Arjuna said, 'This devotion by means of equanimity which thou hast declared, O slayer of Madhu,--on account of restlessness of the mind I do not see its stable presence. O Krishna, the mind is restless, boisterous, perverse, and obstinate. Its restraint I regard to be as difficult of accomplishment as the restraint of the wind.'

Kisari Mohan Ganguli 1883, The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa
