Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 3, Verse 6

कर्मेन्द्रियाणि संयम्य य आस्ते मनसा स्मरन् । इन्द्रियार्थान्विमूढात्मा मिथ्याचारः स उच्यते ॥ ६ ॥

karmendriyāṇi sanyamya ya āste manasā smaran indriyārthān vimūḍhātmā mithyāchāraḥ sa uchyate

Translation

One who restrains the organs of action but sits dwelling on sense objects in the mind is deluded and is called a hypocrite.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

जो मूढ़ पुरुष कर्मेन्द्रियों को रोककर मन से इंद्रियों के विषयों का चिंतन करता रहता है, वह मिथ्याचारी (दंभी) कहलाता है।

Commentary

A sharp warning against pretend renunciation. Sitting in outward stillness while the mind feasts on desires is mithyāchāra — false conduct. What matters is where the mind is, not only what the body is doing.
