Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 24

Krishna said

सङ्कल्पप्रभवान्कामांस्त्यक्त्वा सर्वानशेषतः।मनसैवेन्द्रियग्रामं विनियम्य समन्ततः ॥6.24॥

saṅkalpaprabhavānkāmāṃstyaktvā sarvānaśeṣataḥmanasaivendriyagrāmaṃ viniyamya samantataḥ

Meaning

Giving up completely all desires born of the mind's imagining, and drawing back the whole group of senses from every side by the mind alone,

हिंदी में अर्थ

मन की कल्पना से पैदा होने वाली सभी इच्छाओं को पूरी तरह छोड़कर, और मन से ही इंद्रियों के समूह को चारों ओर से रोककर,

Practise it today

When you catch yourself daydreaming about something you want today, name it silently, say "not now", and bring your attention back to the task at hand.

Reflect tonight

How often did imagined wants pull you away today? Did saying "not now" help?
