yuñjannevaṃ sadātmānaṃ yogī niyatamānasaḥ śāntiṃ nirvāṇa paramāṃ mat-saṃsthām adhigacchati
Always practising control over the mind and situated in the Self, the yogi attains peace, the supreme liberation and My kingdom
The word yoga means uniting with the Divine.
nātyaśnatastu yogosti na caikāntamanaśnataḥ na cāti svapnaśīlasya jāgrato naiva cārjuna
Yoga is neither eating too much nor eating too little; it is neither sleeping too much nor sleeping too little, Oh Arjuna
To be balanced in whatever we do is the path of a Yogī.
yuktāhāra vihārasya yuktaceṣṭasya karmasu yukta-svapnāvabodhasya yogo bhavati duḥkhahā
One who is regulated in food, rest, recreation and work, sleep and wakefulness, can reduce misery
