यदध्यर्थ्येह कर्माणि विद्वन्मान्यसकृन्नरः । करोत्यतो विपर्यासममोघं विन्दते फलम् ।। ७-७-४१ ।।

sanskrit

A materialistic person, thinking himself very advanced in intelligence, continually acts for economic development. But again and again, as enunciated in the Vedas, he is frustrated by material activities, either in this life or in the next. Indeed, the results one obtains are inevitably the opposite of those one desires. ।। 7-7-41 ।।

सुखाय दुःखमोक्षाय सङ्कल्प इह कर्मिणः । सदाऽऽप्नोतीहया दुःखमनीहायाः सुखावृतः ।। ७-७-४२ ।।

sanskrit

In this material world, every materialist desires to achieve happiness and diminish his distress, and therefore he acts accordingly. Actually, however, one is happy as long as one does not endeavor for happiness; as soon as one begins his activities for happiness, his conditions of distress begin. ।। 7-7-42 ।।

किमु व्यवहितापत्यदारागारधनादयः । राज्यं कोशगजामात्यभृत्याप्ता ममतास्पदाः ।। ७-७-४४ ।।

sanskrit

Since the body itself is ultimately meant to become stool or earth, what is the meaning of the paraphernalia related to the body, such as wives, residences, wealth, children, relatives, servants, friends, kingdoms, treasuries, animals and ministers? They are also temporary. What more can be said about this? ।। 7-7-44 ।।

किमेतैरात्मनस्तुच्छैः सह देहेन नश्वरैः । अनर्थैरर्थसङ्काशैर्नित्यानन्दमहोदधेः ।। ७-७-४५ ।।

sanskrit

All this paraphernalia is very near and dear as long as the body exists, but as soon as the body is destroyed, all things related to the body are also finished. Therefore, actually one has nothing to do with them, but because of ignorance one accepts them as valuable. Compared to the ocean of eternal happiness, they are most insignificant. What is the use of such insignificant relationships for the eternal living being? ।। 7-7-45 ।।
