This is one of the most chilling, mathematically precise warnings in the Gita. Krishna declares: Whatever pleasures or enjoyments (bhogā) are born of physical, sensory contact (saṃsparśajā), they are exclusively and inevitably the wombs or sources of misery (duḥkha-yonaya eva te). Why? Because they all have a distinct beginning and an absolute end (ādy-antavantaḥ), O son of Kunti. Therefore, a wise, intelligent person (budhaḥ) never takes delight or rejoices in them (na teṣu ramate).
