Bhagavad Geeta 10.17

Sanskrit

कथं विद्यामहं योगिंस्त्वां सदा परिचिन्तयन्। केषु केषु च भावेषु चिन्त्योऽसि भगवन्मया।।10.17।।

kathaṁ vidyām ahaṁ yogins tvāṁ sadā parichintayan keṣhu keṣhu cha bhāveṣhu chintyo ’si bhagavan mayā

Meaning

Focus your mind on meaningful work aligned with your values rather than seeking perfection through endless contemplation. Action with awareness beats paralysis through overthinking.

Translation

O Yogi, how shall I know You by remaining ever-engaged in meditation? And through what objects, O Lord, should I meditate on You?
