Verse 16

The Yoga of Meditation

There is no possibility of one's becoming a yogi, O Arjuna, if one eats too much or eats too little, sleeps too much or does not sleep enough.

Context & Meaning

Yoga is not compatible with extremes. Eating too much or too little, sleeping too much or too little — all these imbalances obstruct the steady, regulated inner life that meditation requires.
