All chaptersChapter 18: Moksha Sanyaas Yoga

Bhagavad Gita 18.39

Yoga through the Perfection of Renunciation and Surrender

यदग्रे चानुबन्धे च सुखं मोहनमात्मनः। निद्रालस्यप्रमादोत्थं तत्तामसमुदाहृतम्

yad agre chānubandhe cha sukhaṁ mohanam ātmanaḥ nidrālasya-pramādotthaṁ tat tāmasam udāhṛitam

That happiness which at first, as well as in the end, deludes the self, and which arises from sleep, indolence, and heedlessness—that is declared to be Tamasic.

निद्रा, आलस्य और प्रमादसे उत्पन्न होनेवाला जो सुख आरम्भमें और परिणाममें अपनेको मोहित करनेवाला है, वह सुख तामस कहा गया है।
