Meaning

A yogi should constantly practise focusing the mind, staying in a quiet place, alone, with mind and body restrained, free from cravings and from clinging to possessions.

हिंदी में अर्थ

योगी को एकांत और शांत स्थान में अकेले रहकर, मन और शरीर को संयम में रखते हुए, इच्छाओं और संग्रह की लालसा से मुक्त होकर, निरंतर मन को एकाग्र करने का अभ्यास करना चाहिए।

Practise it today

Find ten minutes today to sit alone in a quiet corner, phone in another room, and simply rest your attention on your breathing.

Reflect tonight

Were you able to find ten quiet minutes alone? What made it hard or easy?
