CHAPTER 5 The Supreme God : Enjoyer of Yagya ये हि संस्पर्शजा भोगा दु:खयोनय एव ते। आद्यन्तवन्त: कौन्तेय न तेषु रमते बुध: ॥22॥ [ “Since the pleasures arising from the association of senses with their objects are a cause of grief and are transitory, O son of Kunti, men of wisdom do not desire them.” ] Not only the skin, but all senses feel the sensation of touch contact. Seeing is the touch of the eye as hearing is the touch of the ear. Although seeming pleasant to experience, all the enjoyment arising form these contacts of senses with their objects only leads to miserable births. Moreover, these sensual gratifications are also transient and destructible. So Arjun is told that men of discrimination are not entangled in them. Krishn then enlightens him on the evil that is embodied by attachment to these pleasures.
