Penjelasan

After describing the practice, Krishna warns against extremes. Yoga does not succeed for one who eats too much or for one who fasts completely, nor for one who sleeps too much or for one who keeps awake too long. This is a striking statement in a tradition where severe austerity was often admired. The Gita insists that the body must be neither indulged nor punished if the mind is to be steady. The verse sets up the positive principle of measure that follows.
