BG 5.22
ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दु:खयोनय एव ते ।
आद्यन्तवन्त: कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुध: ॥ २२ ॥
ye hi saṁsparśa-jā bhogā
duḥkha-yonaya eva te
ādy-antavantaḥ kaunteya
na teṣu ramate budhaḥ
ye — those; hi — certainly; saṁsparśajāḥ—by contact with the material senses; bhogāḥ — enjoyment; duḥkha — distress; yonayaḥ — sources of; eva — certainly; te — they are; ādi — in the beginning; antavantaḥ — subject to; kaunteya — O son of Kuntī; na — never; teṣu — in those; ramate — take delight; budhaḥ — the intelligent.
An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with the material senses. O son of Kuntī , such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.
Material sense pleasures are due to the contact of the material senses, which are all temporary because the body itself is temporary. A liberated soul is not interested in anything which is temporary. Knowing well the joys of transcendental pleasures, how can a liberated soul agree to enjoy false pleasure? In the Padma Purāṇa it is said:
In the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam also it is said:
Therefore, those who are true yogīs or learned transcendentalists are not attracted by sense pleasures, which are the causes of continuous material existence. The more one is addicted to material pleasures, the more he is entrapped by material miseries.
