Bhagavad Gita — Chapter 5, Verse 22

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते । आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः ॥ २२ ॥

ye hi sansparśha-jā bhogā duḥkha-yonaya eva te ādyantavantaḥ kaunteya na teṣhu ramate budhaḥ

Translation

The pleasures born of contact are indeed sources of sorrow; they have a beginning and an end, O son of Kunti. The wise do not delight in them.

Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)

जो ये इंद्रियों और विषयों के संयोग से उत्पन्न होने वाले भोग हैं, वे दुख के ही कारण हैं और आदि-अंत वाले हैं। हे कौन्तेय! बुद्धिमान पुरुष उनमें नहीं रमते।

Commentary

Sense pleasures are called duḥkha-yonayaḥ — wombs of sorrow — because they end, and their ending brings loss, and our clinging to them brings anxiety. The wise enjoy what comes without building their happiness on it.
