Chapter 6 · Dhyana Yoga
The Middle Path · Balance in Eating and Rest
Meaning
"Yoga is not possible for one who eats too much or too little, nor for one who sleeps too much or too little, O Arjuna."
Explanation
Spiritual life isn't built on extremes of self-denial or self-indulgence — it's built on balance. Taking care of the body sensibly turns out to be part of the discipline, not a distraction from it.
Today's Life Lesson
Give your body sensible care today — enough rest, enough food — balance is part of the discipline, not separate from it.
