दुःखमित्येव यत्कर्म कायक्लेशभयात्त्यजेत्।
स कृत्वा राजसं त्यागं नैव त्यागफलं लभेत्।।18.8।।
।।18.8।। जो मनुष्य? कर्म को दुख समझकर शारीरिक कष्ट के भय से त्याग देता है? वह पुरुष उस राजसिक त्याग को करके कदापि त्याग के फल को प्राप्त नहीं होता है।।
Unless one is deluded, they will reject all that they see as nothing but misery. But misery in itself is a mental projection based upon angle of perception. It is because normally what is spoken of as affecting the physical body is considered to be separate from the mind that misery is merely a mental condition arising from an unwelcome reception. This is the meaning Lord Krishna is conveying. The Shabda Nirnaya states: Aggravation should be known as an external phenomena having an external source; with proper discrimination this is apparent.
