Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 15, Verse 11

Krishna said
यतन्तो योगिनश्चैनं पश्यन्त्यात्मन्यवस्थितम्।यतन्तोऽप्यकृतात्मानो नैनं पश्यन्त्यचेतसः ॥15.11॥

yatanto yoginaścainaṃ paśyantyātmanyavasthitamyatanto'pyakṛtātmāno nainaṃ paśyantyacetasaḥ

Meaning

Yogis who strive see the soul dwelling within themselves. But those whose minds are unrefined and undisciplined do not see it, even when they try.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो योगी लगन से प्रयास करते हैं, वे आत्मा को अपने भीतर स्थित देखते हैं। पर जिनका मन शुद्ध और संयमित नहीं है, वे प्रयास करके भी उसे नहीं देख पाते।

Practise it today

Fix one small daily discipline, such as waking at a set time or ten minutes of quiet sitting, and do it today without excuses.

Reflect tonight

Did you keep today's discipline? What inner resistance showed up, and how did you handle it?
