Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 18

Krishna said

यदा विनियतं चित्तमात्मन्येवावतिष्ठते।निःस्पृहः सर्वकामेभ्यो युक्त इत्युच्यते तदा ॥6.18॥

yadā viniyataṃ cittamātmanyevāvatiṣṭhateniḥspṛhaḥ sarvakāmebhyo yukta ityucyate tadā

Meaning

When the well-disciplined mind rests in the Self alone, free from longing for any object of desire, then a person is said to be established in yoga.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जब अच्छी तरह संयमित मन केवल आत्मा में ही टिक जाता है और किसी भी भोग की लालसा नहीं रखता, तब मनुष्य को योग में स्थित कहा जाता है।

Practise it today

Spend one hour today without seeking anything to fill time: no snacking, scrolling or shopping. Just do what is in front of you and notice the urge to reach for more.

Reflect tonight

During that hour, what did you most want to reach for? Did the urge pass on its own?
