Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 5, Verse 6

Krishna said
संन्यासस्तु महाबाहो दुःखमाप्तुमयोगतः।योगयुक्तो मुनिर्ब्रह्म नचिरेणाधिगच्छति ॥5.6॥

saṃnyāsastu mahābāho duḥkhamāptumayogataḥyogayukto munirbrahma nacireṇādhigacchati

Meaning

Krishna tells Arjuna that true renunciation is hard to reach without yoga (disciplined action). The thoughtful person steady in yoga soon reaches Brahman (the Absolute).

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण अर्जुन से कहते हैं कि कर्मयोग के बिना सच्चा संन्यास पाना बहुत कठिन है। जो मननशील व्यक्ति योग में स्थिर है, वह जल्दी ही ब्रह्म, यानी परम सत्य को पा लेता है।

Practise it today

Instead of a big resolution to quit a bad habit, take one small, steady step against it today and repeat it once more before bed.

Reflect tonight

Which small step did you take today? Did it feel more possible than a big vow?
