THE BHAGAVAD-GITA.

Brahmachâri,[1] the mind[2] controlled, thinking on Me, harmonised, let him sit aspiring after Me. (14)

युञ्जन्नेवं सदाऽऽत्मानं योगी नियतमानसः । शान्तिं निर्वाणपरमां मत्संस्थामधिगच्छति ॥ १५ ॥

The Yogî ever united thus with the Self, with the mind[2] controlled, goeth to Peace, to the supreme Bliss[3] that abideth in Me. (15)

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नतः । न चातिस्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन ॥ १६ ॥

Verily yoga is not for him who eateth too much, nor who abstaineth to excess, nor who is too much addicted to sleep, nor even to wakefulness, O Arjuna. (16)

युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु । युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा ॥ १७ ॥

  1. A Brahmachârî is a man who is keeping the vow of continence, a celibate.
  2. 2.0 2.1 Manah.
