About this quote

This verse comes from Chapter 6 of the Bhagavad Gita, Dhyana Yoga (The Yoga of Meditation) — the Gita’s manual of meditation: posture, moderation, the restless mind patiently reined in, and the vision of the Self in all beings.

The Bhagavad Gita — ‘the Song of the Lord’ — is the dialogue between Krishna and the warrior Arjuna set within the Mahabharata, and one of the most influential spiritual texts ever composed. English translation by Swami Swarupananda (1909), a public-domain rendering from the Sanskrit; the exact chapter and verse are cited with this quote.
