Meaning

The steady resolve by which one holds the mind, breath and senses in check through unwavering yoga (disciplined focus) is sattvic.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जिस अडिग दृढ़ता से व्यक्ति योग (एकाग्र अभ्यास) द्वारा मन, प्राण और इंद्रियों को साधे रखता है, वह धृति सात्त्विक है।

Practise it today

Sit for five minutes today, breathe slowly and bring your mind back each time it wanders.

Reflect tonight

How many times did your mind wander today, and how gently did you bring it back?
