 A

Sure! Here is a clear gist (summary) of the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 41:

Verse in Sanskrit:

vyavasāyātmikā buddhir ekeha kuru-nandana
bahu-śhākha hy anantaśh cha buddhayo ’vyavasayinām

---

Gist / Meaning:

O beloved son of the Kurus (Arjuna), in this world, only those who have unwavering determination (firm resolve) possess a focused intellect.
For those whose intellect is not steady, it has many branches and is infinite, like a tree with countless branches — meaning their thoughts are scattered and confused.

---

Explanation:

• Vyavasāyātmikā buddhir: Intellect that is determined, fixed, and resolute.

• Ekeha kuru-nandana: O son of the Kurus (Arjuna).

• Bahu-śhākhaḥ hy anantaśh cha: It has many branches and is endless.

• Buddhayo ’vyavasayinām: The intellect of those who lack determination.

This verse emphasizes the importance of a focused and resolute mind in spiritual practice and action. Those who lack this single-pointed focus have a mind full of distractions and confusion.
