Bhagavad Gita 6.19
यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता। योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः॥
yathā dīpo nivāta-stho neṅgate sopamā smṛitā yogino yata-chittasya yuñjato yogam ātmanaḥ
Translation
As a lamp in a windless place flickereth not, to such is likened the Yogî of subdued thought, absorbed in the yoga of the Self.
What it means
As a lamp in a windless place does not flicker: that is the image of the yogi's disciplined mind absorbed in the Self. The classic simile of stillness. The light is unchanged; only the disturbance is removed.
Try this today
The still-flame image: stability is not rigidity but the absence of disturbance.
Something to reflect on
Where is my windless place - the conditions under which I do not flicker?
