Sloka: klabyam ma sma gamah partha tvayy upapadyate

            ksudram hrdaya daurbalyam tyaktottistha parantapa

Translation: O son of Prtha, do not yield to this degrading impotence. It does not become you. Give up such pretty weakness of heart and arise, O chastiser of the enemy

Text 14

Sloka: matra sparsas tu kaunteya sitosna sukha dukha dah

           agamapayino nityas tams titksava bharata

Translation: O son of Kunti, the nonpermanent appearances of happiness and distress, and their disappearances in due course are like the appearances and disappearances of winter and summer seasons. They arise from sense perception, O scion of Bharata and one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

Chapter 5

Text 21

Sloka: bahya sparsev asaktama vindaty atmani yat sukham

            sa brahma yoga yuktatma sukham aksayam asnute

Translation: Such a liberated person is not attracted to material sense pleasure but is always in trance, enjoying the pleasure within. In this way, the self-realized person enjoys unlimited happiness, for he concentrates on the Supreme.

Sloka: vidya vinaya sampanne brahmane gavi hastini

           suni caiva sva pake ca panditah sama darsinah

Text 19

Sloka: Ihaiva jitah sargo yesam samye sthitam manah

           nirdosam hi samam brahma tasmad brahmani te sthitah

Translation: Those whose minds are established in sameness and equanimity have already conquered the conditions of birth and death. They are flawless like Brahman, and thus they are already situated in Brahman.
