A guided meditation on this verse: settle, breathe with its meaning, rest in silence, and carry its essence into your day.
या निशा सर्वभूतानां तस्यां जागर्ति संयमी |
यस्यां जाग्रति भूतानि सा निशा पश्यतो मुनेः ||२-६९||
yā niśā sarvabhūtānāṃ tasyāṃ jāgarti saṃyamī .
yasyāṃ jāgrati bhūtāni sā niśā paśyato muneḥ ||2-69||
Krishna reveals a paradox: "What ordinary people are wide awake chasing after — pleasure, status, possessions — the wise person sleeps right through. And the inner reality that keeps the wise person awake and alive, most people don't even know exists."
