Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 3

Krishna said

आरुरुक्षोर्मुनेर्योगं कर्म कारणमुच्यते।योगारूढस्य तस्यैव शमः कारणमुच्यते ॥6.3॥

ārurukṣormuneryogaṃ karma kāraṇamucyateyogārūḍhasya tasyaiva śamaḥ kāraṇamucyate

Meaning

For the seeker who wants to climb to yoga, action is said to be the means. For the same person, once established in yoga, calm and stillness become the means.

हिंदी में अर्थ

जो साधक योग की ऊँचाई पर चढ़ना चाहता है, उसके लिए कर्म ही साधन है। और जब वही व्यक्ति योग में स्थिर हो जाता है, तब शांति ही उसका साधन बन जाती है।

Practise it today

Spend the first half of your day on steady, focused work. In the evening, sit for five quiet minutes and let the busyness settle without planning anything.

Reflect tonight

Did steady work earlier make the quiet time easier this evening? What did you notice in those five minutes?
