Giảng giải

This is one of the most memorable images in the Gita. A lamp placed where no wind blows does not flicker; its flame stands upright and still. Krishna says that this is the traditional comparison for the yogi whose mind is restrained and who practises the yoga of the self. The image suggests that the mind is not extinguished but becomes steady and bright. The wind stands for the desires and distractions that normally disturb it. Arjuna, a warrior in a storm of conflict, is given a picture of inner stillness.
