अध्याय ५

II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

हे विरक्तांचिये दिठी I जैं न्याहाळिजे किरीटी I तैं पांडुरोगाचिये पुष्टी I सारिखें दिसे II 119 II
म्हणोनि विषयभोगीं जें सुख I तें साद्यंतचि जाण दु:ख I परि काय कीजे मूर्ख I न सेवितां न सरे II 120 II
ते अंतर नेणती बापुडे I म्हणोनि अगत्य सेवणें घडे I सांगें पूयपंकींचे किडे I काय चिळसी घेती II 121 II
तया दु:खियां दु:खचि जिव्हार I ते विषयकर्दमींचे दर्दुर I ते भोगजळींचे जलचर I सांडिती केवीं II 122 II
आणि दु:खयोनिं जिया आहाती I तिया निरर्थका तरी नव्हती I जरी विषयांवरी विरक्ती I धरिती जीव II 123 II
ना तरी गर्भवासादि संकट I कां जन्ममरणींचे कष्ट I हे विसांवेंवीण वाट I वाहवी कवणें II 124 II

"And therefore said Lord Krishna to Arjun, just like attractive appearance not necessarily means meaningful, the glimpses of happiness in sense gratification ultimately culminate into sufferings. It is the ignorance that makes the sense gratification habitual. Just like the worms in the pus do not find the infection repulsive, there are those who do not find anything odd in their surroundings due to their ignorance. The sense gratification itself is life for the ignorant just like water is to the fish and swamp is to frogs. The dispassion to the senses is the only way to overcome the otherwise irresistible pull of the sense gratification. The vicious circle of senses and their gratification is going on since time immemorial culminating into the sufferings of the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth."
