- Bhagavad Gita 2.14
मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदुःखदाः । आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत ॥
भावार्थ
मात्राओं के संपर्क से शीत और उष्ण, सुख और दुःख का अनुभव होता है। ये आते-जाते और अनित्य हैं; हे भरतवंशी, इन्हें सहन करो।
Meaning
Contact with the senses brings heat and cold, pleasure and pain. These experiences come and go and do not last; endure them, Arjuna.
