Chapter 5: Karm Sanyās Yog
ye hi sansparśha-jā bhogā duḥkha-yonaya eva te
ādyantavantaḥ kaunteya na teṣhu ramate budhaḥ||22||

Meaning : O son of Kunti (Arjuna), the pleasures born of contact with the senses
are the sources of pain and suffering (duḥkha-yonayaḥ eva). They have a beginning and an end (ādyantavantah) they are temporary. A wise person (buddhaḥ) does not delight or find joy in such fleeting pleasures.
