Chapter 6 · Dhyana Yoga
The Steady Flame · An Undisturbed Mind
Meaning
"As a lamp in a windless place does not flicker, so is the disciplined mind of a yogi practicing meditation on the self compared."
Explanation
A steady mind isn't one that never has thoughts pass through — it's one that isn't tossed around by every gust of distraction. That kind of stillness is built quietly, through practice, not force.
Today's Life Lesson
When distractions swirl around you today, picture a windless lamp and let your mind settle into that same steadiness.
