అదయి ౨   శ్లోక  ౪౨, ౪౩, ౪౪

Chapter – 2 – Shloka – 42,43,44

O ARJUNA, unwise people who think of nothing but material desires and pleasures, and who believe in the Vedas as well, think that heaven means the absolute end of oneself.

हे अर्जुन ! जो भोगों में तन्मय हो रहे हैं, जो कर्मफल के प्रशंसक वेदवाक्यों में ही प्रीति रखते हैं, जिनकी बुद्भि में स्वर्ग ही परम प्राप्य वस्तु है और जो स्वर्ग से बढ़कर दूसरी कोई वस्तु ही नहीं है —– ऐसा कहने वाले हैं, वे अविवेकजन इस प्रकार की ।। ४२ ।।

These same people, O ARJUNA, speak beautiful words describing heaven in all its glory and beauty. They speak of heaven as the ultimate goal for one to achieve in life. They speak of all the good actions they have performed in life and that the result of their good deeds will be the gaining of worldly pleasures, and everlasting wealth in their present life as well as ensure favourable and pleasant birth in their next life.

जिस पुष्पित अर्थात् दिखाऊ शोभायुक्त्त वाणी को कहा करते हैं, जो कि जन्मरूप कर्मफल देने वाली एवं भोग तथा ऐश्वर्य की प्राप्ति के लिये नाना प्रकार की बहुत-सी क्रियाओं का वर्णन ।। ४३ ।।

O ARJUNA, these ignorant people who seek pleasure through material possessions and prosperity, are brainwashed and obsessed with the desire for more and mire material pleasure. Because of this brainwashed state of mind and this obsession, they are unable to think logically, and lack the wisdom to make wise decisions for themselves in life.

करने वाली है, उस वाणी द्वारा जिनका चित्त हर लिया गया है, जो भोग और ऐश्वर्य में अत्यन्त आसक्त्त हैं, उन पुरुषों की परमात्मा में निश्चयात्मिका बुद्भि नहीं होती ।। ४४ ।।
