Yoga, before the mat and the leggings. The Gita’s definition is simpler and harder. Evenness — not a mood, a response.
What it says
The Gita defines yoga, and it’s not a pose.
Krishna calls it evenness of mind — the same response to winning and to losing.
The verse describes that calm — it never says how long it takes to arrive.
So try it on one thing today: hold the same ten seconds before you react to either.
Not happy, not upset — just steady. That’s the whole definition.
This is Decoded — one Sanskrit word, pulled apart until only what it actually says survives.
