2-3 Sankhya Yoga (सांख्य योग) Third verse

 क्लैब्यं मा स्म गम: पार्थ नैतत्त्वय्युपपद्यते |
क्षुद्रं हृदयदौर्बल्यं त्यक्त्वोत्तिष्ठ परन्तप ||2-3||
klaibyaṁ mā sma gamaḥ pārtha naitat tvayyupapadyate
kṣhudraṁ hṛidaya-daurbalyaṁ tyaktvottiṣhṭha parantapa (2-3)

 

Word to word meaning: klaibyam నపుంసకత్వము, impotence, unmanlinessmā smagamaḥdo not yield topārthaArjun, the son of Pritha etatthistvayito youna upapadyate— not befittingkṣhudram mean, base, sordidhṛidaya daurbalyamweakness of hearttyaktvāgiving uputtiṣhṭhaariseparam-tapaconqueror of enemies

 

Literal Meaning: O Parth, it is beneath you to succumb to this impotence. Abandon such trivial weakness of heart and rise, O conqueror of enemies.

Explanation: The words uttered by the Lord Krishna, appear like the advice of an elderly person. This weakness of heart is the root cause of our troubles. Some are troubled by weakness for money. Some by women, some by worldly affairs. Some by other worldly things.

Try to understand, the world responds to entice us by our weaknesses and invariably we lose time, energy and money in this bargain.
