mātrā-sparśhās tu kaunteya śhītoṣhṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ āgamāpāyino ’nityās tans-titikṣhasva bhārata

Meaning

Hey Arjuna, senses vibin' with stuff creates heat, cold, good feels, and bad feels. It's all temporary, it comes and goes. Deal with it, bro.

Commentary

Yo, Arjuna, it's all about vibes, right? Like, sometimes icy temps are chill, other times they're brutal. Same with heat – a total mood booster in winter, but a total buzzkill in summer. It's all about perspective, fam. Pleasure and pain? Total opposites, but they're both temporary. It's all about how your senses react to stuff, and that's constantly changing. It's like, your senses are hitting up these objects, and your brain's all, 'OMG, feels good!' or 'This sucks!' But it's all fleeting, my dude. So, chill out, stay balanced, and don't sweat the small stuff.
