यथा दीपो निवातस्थो नेङ्गते सोपमा स्मृता। योगिनो यतचित्तस्य युञ्जतो योगमात्मनः।।6.19।।

Meaning
A controlled mind remains steady amid chaos. Like a sheltered flame, focused leaders stay unshaken by external pressures, making clearer decisions.

As a lamp kept in a windless place does not flicker, so is the simile for the yogi whose mind is under control and who is engaged in concentration on the Self.
