Explicación
Rajasic happiness arises from the contact of the senses with their objects. It is like nectar at first but like poison in the end. The verse reverses the image of the previous one. Sense pleasures are sweet in the moment, but when pursued for their own sake they often leave behind exhaustion, craving or regret. Krishna does not deny that such pleasures are real; he points to their cost when they become the aim of life.
