Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 19
यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता।योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः ॥6.19॥yathā dīpo nivātastho neṅgate sopamā smṛtāyogino yatacittasya yuñjato yogamātmanaḥ
Meaning
Like a lamp in a windless place that does not flicker: that is the image used for the disciplined mind of a yogi practising focus on the Self.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जैसे हवा रहित स्थान में रखा दीपक काँपता नहीं, वैसी ही उपमा उस योगी के संयमित मन की दी गई है जो आत्मा में ध्यान लगाता है।
Practise it today
Light a lamp or candle, or picture one, and watch the steady flame for two minutes. Return to this image whenever your mind feels shaky today.
Reflect tonight
When did your mind flicker most today? Did the image of the steady flame help you settle?
