Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Verse 19

This verse is from the Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 6, Verse 19. It is written in Sanskrit and translates to English as follows:

yathā dīpo nivāta-stho neṅgate sopamā smṛitā
yogino yata-chittasya yuñjato yogam ātmanaḥ || 19 ||

English translation:

"Just as the flame of a lamp placed in a place without wind does not move, similarly the mind of a yogi who is focused on the soul and has control over his mind does not get disturbed."

Lord Krishna teaches here that a yogi has to completely control his senses and mind. The turmoil of the outside world or the storm of thoughts cannot disturb him. This is that state of meditation yoga where a person feels the light inside him and becomes stable in his soul.
