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

As the day quiets, hold this: Most decisions are made by your body before your mind notices. Tend the body and many choices grow clearer.

Practical application

Sleep on it. The first thought tomorrow morning will tell you more than another hour of analysis tonight.

Reflection question

If I had to choose right now, with no more information, which would I pick — and why?
