They do not rejoice in good fortune; they do not lament at bad fortune; lucid, with minds unshaken, they remain within what is real. A man unattached to sensations, who finds fulfillment in the Self, whose mind has become pure freedom, attains an imperishable joy. Pleasures from external objects are wombs of suffering, Arjuna. They have their beginnings and their ends; no wise man seeks joy among them.
