Bhagavad Gita 18.38 meaning
vishayendriyasanyogad yat tad agremritopamam
pariname visham iva tat sukham rajasam smritam
विषयेन्द्रियसंयोगाद्यत्तदग्रेऽमृतोपमम्।
परिणामे विषमिव तत्सुखं राजसं स्मृतम्॥
That which comes from the senses meeting their objects, like nectar at first but like poison in the end, is called rajasic happiness.
What it means
Junk food, endless scrolling, impulse buying: they feel great in the moment and leave us worse off. If a pleasure always ends in regret, it is worth a second look.How it helps in real life
- Phone & habits: Doom-scrolling at 1 am feels good, then you wake up drained. Charge your phone outside the bedroom starting tonight.
- With money: Impulse sale shopping feels amazing, then the credit card bill arrives. Remove saved cards from apps and wait a day before buying.
हिंदी में अर्थ
जो सुख इंद्रियों और विषयों के मेल से मिलता है, शुरू में अमृत जैसा पर अंत में ज़हर जैसा, वह राजसिक सुख कहलाता है।
जंक फ़ूड, लगातार स्क्रॉलिंग, बिना सोचे ख़रीदारी: उस पल में मज़ा, बाद में पछतावा। जो सुख हमेशा पछतावे पर खत्म हो, उस पर दोबारा सोचो।
Spoken by Krishna.
