Balance & healthy habits

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नतः। न चातिस्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन॥

Meditation is not for him who eats too much, nor for him who eats not at all; not for him who is overly addicted to sleep, nor for him who is always awake.

Simple meaning

Krishna says that someone who eats far too much or far too little, or sleeps far too much or too little, can't find inner balance. Extremes in either direction disturb the mind.

In real life

युक्ताहारविहारस्य युक्तचेष्टस्य कर्मसु। युक्तस्वप्नावबोधस्य योगो भवति दुःखहा॥

But for him who regulates his food and recreation, who is balanced in action, in sleep, and in waking, it shall dispel all unhappiness.

Simple meaning

Krishna completes the thought: for someone who is balanced in eating, rest, work, sleep and waking, this practice removes sorrow. Moderation is a spiritual practice.
