Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 6

Krishna said
कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन्।इन्द्रियार्थान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचारः स उच्यते ॥3.6॥

karmendriyāṇi saṃyamya ya āste manasā smaranindriyārthānvimūḍhātmā mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate

Meaning

Someone who holds back the body from acting but keeps dwelling on sense pleasures in the mind is deceiving themselves. Such a person is called a hypocrite.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो व्यक्ति शरीर से तो काम रोक लेता है, पर मन में इंद्रियों के सुखों के बारे में सोचता रहता है, वह खुद को धोखा दे रहा है। ऐसे व्यक्ति को ढोंगी कहा जाता है।

Practise it today
