Kṛṣṇa distinguishes between the focused and the scattered mind. He says that those on the spiritual path are resolute in purpose, and their aim is one. They have a single-pointed determination to serve the Supreme. In contrast, the intelligence of the irresolute is many-branched and unlimited. People without a clear spiritual goal are pulled in a thousand directions by their various desires, whims, and social pressures. They are constantly distracted by new ideas and temporary rewards. Kṛṣṇa urges Arjuna to have a focused intellect. By having one clear objective—satisfying the Divine through his duty—his life becomes simple and powerful. A scattered mind is a weak mind, but a resolute mind can conquer any obstacle on the path to liberation.
