kāmātmānaḥ svargaparā janmakarmaphalapradām . kriyāviśeṣabahulāṃ bhogaiśvaryagatiṃ prati ||2-43||
Chapter 2 · Verse 43
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You must realize that chasing endless desires and performing actions only for personal gain binds you to karma, the cycle of cause and effect. When you focus solely on pleasure and power, you trap yourself in endless rebirths. True peace comes when you look beyond these temporary rewards and seek a deeper spiritual connection.
Translation
2.42 - 2.44 O! Partha, the unwise, who rejoice in the letter of the Vedas, say, 'There is nothing else.' They are full only of wordly desires and they hanker for heaven. They speak flowery words which offer rirth as the fruit of work. They look upon the Vedas as consisting entirely of varied rites for the attainment of pleasure and power. Those who cling so to pleasure and power are attracted by that speech (offering heavenly rewards) and are unable to develop the resolute will of a concentrated mind.
