Verse 5.22
ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते । आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः ॥ ५.२२ ॥
जो ये इन्द्रिय तथा विषयोंके संयोगसे उत्पन्न होनेवाले सब भोग हैं, यद्यपि विषयी पुरुषोंको सुखरूप भासते हैं तो भी दुःखके ही हेतु हैं और आदि अन्तवाले अर्थात् अनित्य हैं। इसलिये हे अर्जुन ! । बुद्धिमान् विवेकी पुरुष उनमें नहीं रमता|
When one’s senses make contact with sensual, material goods, Arjuna, these desire-evoking objects are the cause of misery (these objects may appear enjoyable to material pleasure-seekers).These enjoyments are temporary, having a beginning and an end. When one develops a habitual desire for these artificial enjoyments. O Arjuna, he falls into deep misery and irrational behaviour as soon as these pleasures have disappeared from him.
