Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.
In English
The wise man who has conquered his mind and is absorbed in the Self is like a lamp that does not flicker, as it stands sheltered from every wind.
Translated by Shri Purohit Swami
As a lamp placed in a windless spot does not flicker, so is the Yogi of a controlled mind, who practices Yoga in the Self, compared.
Translated by Swami Sivananda
