Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 25
शनैः शनैरुपरमेद् बुद्ध्या धृतिगृहीतया।आत्मसंस्थं मनः कृत्वा न किञ्चिदपि चिन्तयेत् ॥6.25॥śanaiḥ śanairuparamed buddhyā dhṛtigṛhītayāātmasaṃsthaṃ manaḥ kṛtvā na kiñcidapi cintayet
Meaning
one should become still gradually, little by little, with an intellect held firm by patience. Settling the mind in the Self, one should think of nothing else.
हिंदी में अर्थ
धैर्य से स्थिर की हुई बुद्धि के द्वारा धीरे-धीरे शांत होना चाहिए। मन को आत्मा में टिकाकर और कुछ भी न सोचना चाहिए।
Practise it today
In your quiet sitting today, do not force the mind to be silent. Simply let each thought pass slowly, and lengthen the gaps between them a little.
Reflect tonight
Did going slowly work better than forcing silence? What did the gaps between thoughts feel like?
