कर्मोदयं सुखमाशंसमानः कृच्छ्रोपायं तत्त्वतः कर्म दुःखम् । सुखप्रेप्सुर्विजिघांसुश्च दुःखं य इन्द्रियाणां प्रीतिवशानुगामी । कामाभिध्या स्वशरीरं दुनोति यया प्रयुक्तोऽनुकरोति दुःखम्॥५-२६-४॥
Expecting happiness as the outcome of action, one pursues difficult means; yet in truth, action is burdensome. Seeking pleasure and wishing to inflict suffering on others, one who follows the senses under the compulsion of gratification harms his own body; driven by craving and fixation, he repeatedly reproduces suffering.
