कर्षयन्तः शरीरस्थं भूतग्राममचेतसः । मां चैवान्तःशरीरस्थं तान्विद्ध्यासुरनिश्चयान् ॥ ६ ॥
karṣhayantaḥ śharīra-sthaṁ bhūta-grāmam achetasaḥ māṁ chaivāntaḥ śharīra-sthaṁ tān viddhy āsura-niśhchayān
Translation
senselessly tormenting the elements of the body and Me who dwell within the body: know them to be of demonic resolve.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
वे अविवेकी शरीर में स्थित भूत-समुदाय को और अंतःकरण में स्थित मुझ परमात्मा को भी कष्ट देते हैं; उन्हें तुम आसुरी निश्चय वाला जानो।
Commentary
A remarkable statement: harming one's own body through misguided austerity also torments God, who lives within it. The body is not an enemy to be punished but a temple to be cared for. This matches 6.16–17, where Krishna says yoga is not for one who eats too much or too little.
