[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.48 · spoken by Krishna ]
Same in victory. Same in defeat. That is the definition.
Established in yoga, perform your actions, abandoning attachment, O Arjun — remaining equal in success and failure. That equanimity is called yoga.
SANSKRIT
योगस्थः कुरु कर्माणि सङ्गं त्यक्त्वा धनञ्जय । सिद्ध्यसिद्ध्योः समो भूत्वा समत्वं योग उच्यते ॥२-४८॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“Yoga is not the posture. Not the breath. Not the trance. Stand steady inside, act with everything you have, and keep the same face when it works and when it does not. Samatvam — that evenness — is yoga.”
