6.16

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नतः ।
न चातिस्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन ॥

నాత్యశ్నతస్తు యోగోఽస్తి న చైకాన్తమనశ్నతః ।
న చాతిస్వప్నశీలస్య జాగ్రతో నైవ చార్జున ॥

nātyaśnatastu yogo’sti na caikāntamanaśnataḥ |
na cātisvapnaśīlasya jāgrato naiva cārjuna ||

About chapter 6

Krishna teaches the practice of meditation (dhyāna): one must lift oneself by one’s own mind, for the mind is both friend and enemy. He describes the seat, posture, moderation in food and sleep, and how to steady a restless mind through practice and detachment. No effort on this path is ever lost, and the yogi who worships with devotion is the highest.
