vyavasayatmika buddhih samadhau na vidhiyate

Translation

In the minds of those who are too attached to sense enjoyment and material opulence, and who are bewildered by such things, the resolute determination of devotional service to the Supreme Lord does not take place.

Purport

In This Shloka Bhagvan Shri Krishna, explains Arjuna why some people are not able to concentrate and meditate upon Ishwara. Bhagvan explains that those people who are attached to the material world, found of material pleasures cannot meditate upon Supreme Lord.
