Bhagavad Gita 6.23
तं विद्याद् दुःखसंयोगवियोगं योगसंज्ञितम्। स निश्चयेन योक्तव्यो योगोऽनिर्विण्णचेतसा॥
taṁ vidyād duḥkha-sanyoga-viyogaṁ yogasaṅjñitam sa niśhchayena yoktavyo yogo ’nirviṇṇa-chetasā
Translation
That should be known by the name of yoga, this disconnection from the union with pain. This yoga must be clung to with a firm conviction and with undesponding mind.
What it means
Know this disconnection from union with pain by the name yoga; and it must be pursued with conviction and an undespairing mind. Yoga is defined as unhooking from suffering, and the attitude is specified: firm, unflagging.
Try this today
Yoga defined negatively and usefully: unhooking from pain. And it requires grit plus good cheer.
Something to reflect on
If yoga is unhooking from pain, which hook am I ready to work on first?
