BG 6.23 Yoga is the break-up with sorrow.

 A

Bhagavad Gita 6.23 comes in the Dhyāna Yoga (Chapter 6: The Yoga of Meditation).

Here, Krishna explains the supreme state attained through meditation.




Sanskrit (Devanagari):

तं विद्यात् दुःखसंयोगवियोगं योगसंज्ञितम्।

स निश्चयेन योक्तव्यो योगोऽनिर्विण्णचेतसा।। 6.23।।


Transliteration:

taṁ vidyād duḥkha-saṁyoga-viyogaṁ yoga-saṁjñitam

sa niścayena yoktavyo yogo’nirviṇṇa-cetasā


Translation (meaning):


  • “Know that state which is free from union with sorrow as Yoga.
    This Yoga must be practiced with determination and an undespairing mind.”





✨ In context:


  • Krishna describes Yoga as the disconnection from union with sorrow (duḥkha-saṁyoga-viyoga).
  • A yogi, through meditation and discipline, rises above suffering.
  • It requires firm resolve (niścaya) and a cheerful, unwavering mind (anirviṇṇa-cetas).



Would you like me to also give you a simple commentary on how this verse applies practically in daily life?
