Madhvacharya's Dvaita Vedanta and translation of Sarvamoola containing Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads, and Brahmasutra.

Bhagavad Gīta Bhāshya

nātyaśnatastu yogo'sti na caikāntamanaśnataḥ। na cātisvapnaśīlasya jāgrato naiva cārjuna ॥16॥

O Arjuna, Yoga is not for one who eats too much, nor for one who does not eat at all; it is not for one who sleeps too much, nor for one who stays awake excessively.

The prohibition of fasting, etc. is for the incapable only. The capable must engage in meditation, abandoning laziness, sleep, eating, and fear.

anaśanādiniṣedhaḥ aśaktasya। uktaṁ hi -

The prohibition of fasting, etc. is for the incapable. It is said:

"nidrāśanabhayaśvāsaceṣṭātandrādivarjanam। kr̥tvā nimīlitākṣastu śakto dhyāyan prasīdati॥"

"The one who is capable of meditating with closed eyes, avoiding laziness, sleep, eating, fear, and breathing activities, becomes successful."

iti nāradīye ॥16॥

-stated thus in the Nārada Purāṇa.

बहुचित्रजगद्बहुधाकरणात् परशक्तिरनन्तगुणः परमः ।
सुखरूपममुष्य पदं परमं स्मरतस्तु भविष्यति तत्सततम् ॥
"The one who has created this variegated vast universe with varied forms has infinite power and is of infinite auspicious qualities. He certainly bestows the highest state of bliss to those who meditate on his ever happy essence." -Dwādasha stōtra 4.3
