Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 13
सर्वकर्माणि मनसा संन्यस्यास्ते सुखं वशी।नवद्वारे पुरे देही नैव कुर्वन्न कारयन् ॥5.13॥sarvakarmāṇi manasā saṃnyasyāste sukhaṃ vaśīnavadvāre pure dehī naiva kurvanna kārayan
Meaning
Krishna says: the self-controlled person, inwardly letting go of all actions, lives at ease in the body, "the city of nine gates," neither acting nor making anything act.
हिंदी में अर्थ
श्रीकृष्ण कहते हैं: जिसने अपने मन को वश में किया है, वह मन से सब कर्मों का त्याग करके नौ द्वारों वाले नगर, यानी इस शरीर, में सुख से रहता है; न वह स्वयं कुछ करता है, न किसी से करवाता है।
Practise it today
Take five quiet minutes today. Sit still and feel your body as a house you live in, with you as a calm observer inside it.
Reflect tonight
Did you take those five minutes? What did it feel like to be the observer rather than the busy doer?
