Meditation is not for one who eats too much, or does not eat at all. It is not for those who sleep too much, or stay awake too long.
[16]For those who regulate their food and recreation, who are temperate in their sleep and wakefulness, Yoga is the destroyer of unhappiness.
[17]When the mind is subdued and remains centered in the self, one attains freedom from cravings and desire.
[18]The yogi who has disciplined the mind and meditates diligently on the self is like a lamp in a windless place that does not flicker.
[19]When the mind, restrained through practice, becomes still, and when one finds satisfication in the inner self,
[20]when one knows that infinite happiness can be grasped by the intellect but is beyond the reach of the senses, one never strays from reality again.
