Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 5, Verse 9

प्रलपन्विसृजन्गृह्णन्नुन्मिषन्निमिषन्नपि । इन्द्रियाणीन्द्रियार्थेषु वर्तन्त इति धारयन् ॥ ९ ॥

pralapan visṛijan gṛihṇann unmiṣhan nimiṣhann api indriyāṇīndriyārtheṣhu vartanta iti dhārayan

Translation

— speaking, letting go, grasping, opening and closing the eyes — holding firmly that it is only the senses moving among their objects.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

— बोलता, त्यागता, ग्रहण करता, आँखें खोलता और मूँदता हुआ भी यह समझता है कि इंद्रियाँ ही अपने-अपने विषयों में बरत रही हैं।

Commentary

Even blinking is included. The practice is to remember, in the midst of everything, that "I" am more than the body's activity. This loosens the ego's grip on action.
