Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 3: The Path of Action

Bhagavad Gita 3.6

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

karmendriyāṇi saṃyamya ya āste manasā smaran | indriyārthānvimūḍhātmā mithyācāraḥ sa ucyate ||

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

Modern context

Someone who holds the body still while the mind runs after what it wants is called a hypocrite, and also self-deceived. The harsh word is aimed at a false solution, not at the struggle. Outward restraint with inner indulgence is a pretence that fools mainly the one who practises it. The Gita cares where the mind is.
