Bhagavad Gita 5.22

English
Sanskrit
Hindi
Sanskrit

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते | आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः

Transliteration

ye hi saṃsparśajā bhogā duḥkhayonaya eva te . ādyantavantaḥ kaunteya na teṣu ramate budhaḥ

English

Since enjoyments that result from contact (with objects) are verily the sources of sorrow and have a beginning and an end, (therefore) O son of Kunti, the wise one does not delight in them.

हिन्दी

हे कौन्तेय (इन्द्रिय तथा विषयों के) संयोग से उत्पन्न होने वाले जो भोग हैं वे दु:ख के ही हेतु हैं, क्योंकि वे आदि-अन्त वाले हैं। बुद्धिमान् पुरुष उनमें नहीं रमता।।

Explanation — English

Man goes in est of joy and searches in the external perishable objects for his happiness. He fails to get it but instead he carries a load of sorrow on his head.You should withdraw the senses from the senseobjects as there is no trace of happiness in them and fix the min on the immortal? blissful Self within. The senseobjects have a beginning and an end. Separation from the senseobjects gives you a lot of pain. During the interval between the origin and the end you experience a hollow? momentary? illusory pleasure. This fleeting pleasure is due to Avidya or ignorance. Even in the other world you will have the same experience. He who is endowed with discrimination or the knowledge of the Self will never rejoice in these sensual objects. Only ignorant persons who are passionate will rejoice in the senseobjects. (Cf.II.14?XVIII.38)

Explanation — हिन्दी

आत्मा के अनन्त आनन्द का अनुभव करने के लिए हम साधक लोग भी विषयासक्ति से मुक्त होने का प्रयत्न करते हैं। एक सामान्य स्तर का बुद्धिमान् पुरुष भी यदि जीवन के अनुभवों पर विचार करे तो वह समझ सकता है कि अनित्य विषयों में सुख की खोज करना कोई लाभदायक व्यापार नहीं है। हमारे सभी अनुभवों में उपयोगिता के ह्रास का नियम समान रूप से कार्य करता है। जो वस्तु प्रारम्भ में सुख देती है वही कुछ समय पश्चात् अत्यन्त दुखदायी भी बन जाती है। भूखे होने पर पहले और पच्चीसवें लड्डू को खाते समय हमारे क्या अनुभव होगें इसका प्रत्यक्ष प्रयोग करके देखा जा सकता है जो इस मूलभूत सत्य को प्रमाणित करेगा कि वैषयिक उपभोग सदा ही दुख के कारण होते हैं।इन्द्रियोपभोग की वस्तुएँ उतनी ही सुन्दर एवं सुखदायक हो सकती हैं जितनी कि कुष्ठ रोगिणी कोई वेश्या जो सौन्दर्य़ प्रसाधनों से सजधज कर किसी व्यापारिक नगरी की अंधेरी संकरी गली में स्थित अपने कोठेमें अनजाने लोगों को लुभाने का प्रयत्न करती खड़ी रहती है। श्रीकृष्ण इस तथ्य को सुन्दर शैली में समझाते हुए कहते हैं कि वैषयिक सुख अनित्य होने के कारण विवेकी पुरुष को मोहित नहीं कर सकते।बुद्धिमान् पुरुष पूर्णत्व प्राप्ति से ही सन्तुष्ट होता है। हम भौतिक परिच्छिन्न वस्तुओं के पीछे अधिक सन्तोष और आनन्द पाने की आशा में दौड़दौड़ कर स्वयं को थका लेते हैं और उस झूठी आशा में न जाने कितने हीन कर्म भी करते हैं। जबकि वास्तविक शुद्ध दिव्य और पूर्ण आनन्द केवल आत्मानुभूति के द्वारा ही प्राप्त हो सकता है।श्रेय मार्ग का एक और प्रतिपक्षी शत्रु है जो सब अनर्थों का कारण तथा दुर्जेय है इसलिये सबके परिहार के लिये प्रयत्नाधिक्य की आवश्यकता है। भगवान् कहते हैं

5.1Arjuna said O Krsna, You praise renunciation of actions, and again, (Karma-) yoga. Tell me for certain that one which is better between these two.5.2The Blessed Lord said Both renunciation of actions and Karma-yoga lead to Liberation. Between the two, Karma-yoga, however, excels over renunciation of actions.5.3He who does not hate and does not crave should be known as a man of constant renunciation.5.4The fools, not the learned ones, speak of Sankhya (the path of Knowledge) and (Karma-) yoga as different. Any one who properly resorts to even one (of them) gets the result of both.5.5The State [Sthana (State) is used in the derivative sense of 'the place in which one remains established, and from which one does not become relegated'.] that is reached by the Sankhyas, that is reached by the yogis as well. He sees who sees Sankhya and yoga as one.5.6But, O mighty-armed one, renunciation is hard to attain without (Karma-) yoga. The meditative man eipped with yoga attains Brahman without delay.5.7Endowed with yoga, [i.e. devoted to the performance of the nitya and naimittika duties.] pure in mind, controlled in body, a coneror of the organs, the Self of the selves of all beings-he does not become tainted even while performing actions. [The construction of the sentence is this: When this person resorts to nitya and naimittika rites and duties as a means to the achievement of fully Illumination, and thus becomes fully enlightened, then, even when he acts through the apparent functions of the mind, organs, etc., he does not become afflected.]5.8-5.9 Remaining absorbed in the Self, the knower of Reality should think, 'I certainly do not do anything', even while seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing, speaking, releasing, holding, opening and closing the eyes-remembering that the organs function in relation to the objects of the organs.5.9-5.9 Remaining absorbed in the Self, the knower of Reality should think, 'I certainly do not do anything', even while seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing, speaking, releasing, holding, opening and closing the eyes-remembering that the organs function in relation to the objects of the organs.5.10One who acts by dedicating actions to Brahman and by renouncing attachment, he does not become polluted by sin, just as a lotus leaf is not by water.
