Those external relations that bring cold and heat, pain and happiness come and go; they are not permanent. Endure them bravely, O Prince!

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

The contact of the senses with the objects, O son of Kunti, which causes heat and cold, pleasure and pain, has a beginning and an end; they are impermanent; endure them bravely, O Arjuna.
