Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 8
ज्ञानविज्ञानतृप्तात्मा कूटस्थो विजितेन्द्रियः।युक्त इत्युच्यते योगी समलोष्टाश्मकाञ्चनः ॥6.8॥jñānavijñānatṛptātmā kūṭastho vijitendriyaḥyukta ityucyate yogī samaloṣṭāśmakāñcanaḥ
Meaning
The yogi who is content with knowledge and lived understanding, unshaken, in control of the senses, and who sees a lump of earth, a stone and gold as equal, is called steady in yoga.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जो योगी ज्ञान और अनुभव से तृप्त है, अडिग है, इंद्रियों को वश में रखता है, और मिट्टी, पत्थर तथा सोने को एक समान देखता है, वही योग में स्थित कहलाता है।
Practise it today
Before buying or wishing for something today, ask: "Will this matter to me in a year?" Let that answer, not the excitement, guide you.
Reflect tonight
Did asking the one-year question change any choice today? What did you feel content with without buying anything?
