Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 67

Krishna said
इन्द्रियाणां हि चरतां यन्मनोऽनुविधीयते।तदस्य हरति प्रज्ञां वायुर्नावमिवाम्भसि ॥2.67॥

indriyāṇāṃ hi caratāṃ yanmano'nuvidhīyatetadasya harati prajñāṃ vāyurnāvamivāmbhasi

Meaning

Krishna gives an image: when the mind runs after the wandering senses, it sweeps away a person's wisdom, just as a strong wind sweeps a boat off course on the water.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण उदाहरण देते हैं: जब मन भटकती इंद्रियों के पीछे दौड़ता है, तो वह बुद्धि को बहा ले जाता है, जैसे तेज़ हवा पानी में नाव को रास्ते से भटका देती है।

Practise it today

Before opening a new app or tab today, pause and ask, "Is this where I meant to steer?" If not, return to your course.

Reflect tonight

How many times did you steer your boat back today?
