Bhagavad Gita 6.16-17

Yoga is not for one who eats too much, nor for one who eats too little; nor for one who sleeps too much, nor too little.

Theme: Decision Making

"Yoga is not for one who eats too much, nor for one who eats too little; nor for one who sleeps too much, nor too little. For one who is moderate in eating, recreation, work, sleep, and waking, yoga becomes the destroyer of sorrow."

Modern explanation

In the middle of the day, return to this: Most decisions are made by your body before your mind notices. Tend the body and many choices grow clearer.

Practical application

Reduce the choice to its core trade-off in one sentence. Decisions hide inside word-clutter.

Reflection question

Which option would my wisest, calmest self choose?
