Bhagavad Gita 8.12
सर्वद्वाराणि संयम्य मनो हृदि निरुध्य च। मूर्ध्न्याधायात्मनः प्राणमास्थितो योगधारणाम्॥
sarva-dvārāṇi sanyamya mano hṛidi nirudhya cha mūrdhnyādhāyātmanaḥ prāṇam āsthito yoga-dhāraṇām
Translation
All the gates closed, the mind confined in the heart, the life-breath fixed in his own head, concentrated by yoga,
What it means
All the gates of the body closed, the mind held in the heart, the life-breath established in the head, steady in yogic concentration. The body's exits are sealed so attention cannot leak. Withdrawal is total and deliberate.
Try this today
The full inward sealing: senses closed, mind gathered, breath raised - total internal consolidation.
Something to reflect on
Where does my attention leak, and what would sealing it feel like?
