आध्यात्मिकादिभिर्दुःखैरविमुक्तस्य कर्हिचित् । मर्त्यस्य कृच्छ्रोपनतैरर्थैः कामैः क्रियेत किम् ।। ७-१३-३० ।।

sanskrit

Materialistic activities are always mixed with three kinds of miserable conditions — adhyātmika, adhidaivika and adhibautika. Therefore, even if one achieves some success by performing such activities, what is the benefit of this success? One is still subjected to birth, death, old age, disease and the reactions of his fruitive activities. ।। 7-13-30 ।।

english translation

भौतिकतावादी कार्यकलाप सदैव तीन प्रकार के दुखों—अध्यात्मिक, अधिदैविक तथा अधिभौतिक—से मिले-जुले होते हैं। अतएव यदि कोई ऐसे कार्य सम्पन्न करके कुछ सफलता प्राप्त भी कर ले तो उससे क्या लाभ है? उसे फिर भी जन्म, मृत्यु, जरा, व्याधि तथा अपने कर्मफलों को भोगना होगा। ।। ७-१३-३० ।।
