Verse 6.16

नात्यश्नतस्तु योगोऽस्ति न चैकान्तमनश्नतः। न चातिस्वप्नशीलस्य जाग्रतो नैव चार्जुन।।6.16।।

nātyaśhnatastu yogo ’sti na chaikāntam anaśhnataḥ na chāti-svapna-śhīlasya jāgrato naiva chārjuna

Meaning

No cap, Arjuna, yoga's a no-go if you're a total foodie, starving yourself, sleeping all day, or pulling all-nighters. It's all about balance, bro.

Commentary

Yo, Arjuna, listen up. This whole yoga thing? It ain't happening if you're a total foodie or starving yourself. Same goes for sleeping all day or pulling all-nighters. Gotta find that balance, fam. Stuff yourself, and you'll be too sleepy to even *think* about meditation. Starve yourself, and you'll be weak AF. The ancient texts say, fill your stomach halfway with food, a quarter with water, and leave the rest empty for good vibes. Too much sleep? You're gonna be a total slug. Too little? You'll crash during your session. Find the sweet spot, and your yoga journey will be fire.
