Verse 6.19
From Chapter 6 — The Yoga of MeditationOriginal text
यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता। योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः॥
Translation
“As a lamp in a windless place does not flicker — that is the image given for one of gathered mind, practising the yoga of the self.”
Source — Bhagavad Gītā 6.19 (traditional Sanskrit text). English rendering by Frenly Divine — a working translation, not an authoritative one.
Understand
What it is saying
Explanation — written by Frenly Divine, not scripture
A simile rather than a claim. Notice what it implies: the flame is not made brighter, only undisturbed.
Why it matters
It is the Gītā's clearest picture of the settled attention Patañjali later calls dhyāna.
Reflect
What is the wind, for you?
