उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha
Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads
Find stillness within; your mind can be a steady lamp.
यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता । योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः ॥
Bhagavad Gita 6.19
Like a lamp in a windless place that does not flicker: this is the image of a calm, disciplined mind.
Imagine your mind as a lamp, steady and bright, not wavering in the wind. As you move through your day, notice when your thoughts begin to flicker. Gently bring your focus back to that calm, unwavering center.
When you notice a distraction, return your attention to your breath for a moment.
