Chapter 5 verse 22
“The enjoyments that are born of contacts are only
generators of pain, for they have a beginning and an end, the wise do not
rejoice in them”
How does one distinguish between what is changing and
changeless, what is permanent and impermanent, what causes eternal bliss and
what gives momentary bliss? Anything which has a beginning and end is
impermanent, changing and temporary irrespective how long it lasts! The process
of negation of the impermanent is an approach Vedanta takes to realize the
permanent immutable Self. All temporary enjoyments are borne of the contacts of
the 5 organs of action and perception, mind and the intellect. Lord says that
the real wise men do not attach themselves to these pleasures.
