Bhagavad Gita Beginning Quotations

Pleasures derived from the contact of senses with their objects are verily the source of misery, and have a beginning and an end.

Neither do I see the beginning nor the middle nor the end of Your Universal Form.

An intelligent person does not take part in the sources of misery, which are due to contact with material senses. Such pleasures have a beginning and an end, and so the wise man does not delight in them.

This pleasure, appears as poison in the beginning but is like nectar in the end, comes by the grace of Self-knowledge.
