Verse 5.22

ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दुःखयोनय एव ते। आद्यन्तवन्तः कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुधः।।5.22।।

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

Meaning

Yo, Arjuna, that fleeting pleasure from sensory stuff? Total cap. It's all temporary, a total vibe kill. Wise peeps don't even trip about that stuff.

Commentary

Bro, chasing that external happiness is a total dead end. It's like, you think you're getting lit, but you're just loading yourself up with major L's. Arjuna, you gotta detach from all that sensory stuff; there's no real joy in it. It's all temporary, and the pain of losing it is way worse than the fleeting high. Real happiness is within, it's that inner glow, not some temporary clout. Wise people know this; they're not chasing clout, they're chasing that inner peace. Even in the afterlife, that temporary happiness is still a mirage. Only clueless peeps are still chasing that temporary high.
