मात्रास्पर्शास्तु कौन्तेय शीतोष्णसुखदु: खदा: | आगमापायिनोऽनित्यास्तांस्तितिक्षस्व भारत || 14||

mātrā-sparśhās tu kaunteya śhītoṣhṇa-sukha-duḥkha-dāḥ āgamāpāyino ’nityās tans-titikṣhasva bhārata

हे कुन्तीनन्दन! हमारे जीवन में जैसे कि  माताके स्पर्शसे सुख ( वियोगसेदुःख) ये सब बारी बारीसे शीत (ठंड ) उष्ण (कडी धूप =लू) तरह से आना जानातो रहताही है । ये सब स्थिर नहीं है। अतः शान्त चित्तसे इसे स्वीकार करो।

BG 2.14:  O son of Kunti, the contact between the senses and the sense objects gives rise to fleeting perceptions of happiness and distress. These are non-permanent, and come and go like the winter and summer seasons. O descendant of Bharat, one must learn to tolerate them without being disturbed.

Manurbhav - Gist

एके सत्पुरुषाः परार्थघटकाः स्वार्थं परित्यज्य ये, सामान्यास्तु परार्थमुद्यमभृतः स्वार्थाविरोधेन ये  , तेमी मानुषराक्षसाः परहितं स्वार्थाय निघ्नन्ति ये, ये निघ्नन्ति निरर्थकं परहितं ते के न जानीमहे।।

इस संसार में चार प्रकार के मनुष्य हमें देखने को मिलते हैं।

1) सत्पुरुष :-  सत्पुरुष वह हैं , जो दूसरों के हित के लिए अपना स्वार्थ को छोड़ देते हैं।अर्थात् निस्वार्थ भावसे दूसरों का भलाई करने वाले होते हैं।

2) सामान्य मनुष्य :- आम आदमी अपने स्वार्थता एवं बडप्पन केलिए दूसरों का हित करने वाले को सामान्य मनुष्य कहते हैं।

3) मनुष्य राक्षस :- इस संसार में होने वाले सभी वस्तुएं अपने लिए ही बनाएं गये हैं। ऐसे सोचकर किसीको  कुछभी न देकर स्वयं ही अनुभव करने वाले को मनुष्य राक्षस कहते हे।

4) अवर्गीकृत :- (जिसका वर्ग न बनाया गया हो) जो चीज़ स्वयं को नहीं प्राप्त होता , वह किसी और को भी प्राप्त नहीं हो| इस प्रकार के सोच विचार रखने वाले  मनुष्य और जो मनुष्य बिना किसी कारण दूसरों को हानी पहुँचाते हैं इन मनुष्यों को क्या कहें , यह कोई भी नहीं जानता और इसलिए इन मनुष्यों को अवर्गीकृत का दर्जा दिया गया हैं |

Human beings can be broadly classified into 4 categories:

1) Ideal/Virtuous/Benovelant - He, who gives himself up (selflessly) for the benefit of others. In other words, all those who live their lives for the upliftment of others are clubbed under this category.

2) Normal Human Being - He, who helps others for his own selfish motives & fame/nobility (Vested Interest)

3) Devil - He, who feels that everything in this entire Universe is his exclusive right & with this mentality is busy amassing everything for himself and in the process wilfully deprives all others of their rightful dues.

4) Uncategorized - Those individuals who put their needs over others & feel that others have no right to possess something which they don’t. Secondly those individuals who for no rhyme or reason inflict harm on others are clubbed under this category
