| A
person whose mind is unattached to sensual pleasures, who discovers
the joy of the Self, and whose mind is in union with Brahman through
meditation, enjoys eternal bliss. (5.21)
Pleasures derived from the contact of
senses with their objects (or the sensual pleasures) are verily the source of misery, and have a
beginning and an end. The wise, O Arjuna, do not rejoice in sensual pleasures. (See also 18.38) (5.22)
One who is able to withstand the impulse of lust and anger before
death is a yogi, and a happy person. (5.23) |
