ਉਤਪਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਕਥਾ

Bhagavad Gita Chapter 6, Verse 19 · Sage Veda Vyasa (Mahabharata, Bhishma Parva) · Ancient (text compiled c. 5th–2nd century BCE)

In the sixth chapter, Dhyana Yoga, Krishna explains in detail how a seeker should meditate — the seat, the posture, the steadying of the mind, and the withdrawal of the senses. As the mind grows still through practice, it reaches the state described here, likened to a lamp burning motionless in windless air, fully absorbed in the Self.

ਸ਼ਾਸਤਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਦੱਸੇ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ

Meditators across traditions describe how, when the mind finally grows as still as a sheltered flame, an inner light and profound peace dawn of their own accord — the very experience this verse points to as the fruit of steady dhyana.

Recite this verse as you settle into meditation, then visualize a steady lamp flame burning without a flicker in still air. Let your mind become that flame — calm, upright and unwavering — as you gently rest attention on the inner Self. Whenever thoughts begin to flutter like a flame in the wind, return to this image to restore stillness and one-pointed focus.

Krishna compares the disciplined mind of a yogi absorbed in meditation to a lamp flame in a windless place that does not flicker. It is one of the most beloved images of inner steadiness in the entire Gita.
The unflickering flame represents a mind that has become perfectly calm and one-pointed through controlled thought and steady meditation on the Self. With no 'wind' of distraction, the mind shines steadily and reveals the inner light of the Atman.
Create a quiet, distraction-free setting (the 'windless spot'), sit steadily, and hold your attention gently and continuously on the Self or your chosen focus. When the mind wavers, recall the image of the still flame and let it settle again into unbroken stillness.
It is part of the sixth chapter, Dhyana Yoga, where Krishna describes the method, posture and inner state of meditation. This verse marks the description of the perfectly absorbed, unwavering mind that the practice aims to attain.
