Bhagavad Geeta 15.11

Sanskrit

यतन्तो योगिनश्चैनं पश्यन्त्यात्मन्यवस्थितम्।यतन्तोऽप्यकृतात्मानो नैनं पश्यन्त्यचेतसः।।15.11।।

yatanto yoginaśh chainaṁ paśhyanty ātmany avasthitam yatanto ‘py akṛitātmāno nainaṁ paśhyanty achetasaḥ

Meaning

True mastery comes from disciplined self-awareness. Hard work alone fails without inner clarity and emotional control to recognize what truly matters.

Translation

And the diligent yogis see this one existing within themselves. The non-discriminating ones who lack self-control, however, do not see this one, even though they are diligent.
