And now hear from Me, O Arjuna, of the threefold pleasure, in which one rejoices by practice and surely comes to the end of pain.

Now hear from me, bull of the Bharatas, about the three kinds of happiness: that in which one delights through practice and in which one reaches the end of sorrow,

Krishna now addresses happiness (sukha), the last of the qualities he analyses in this series. He begins to describe the kind of happiness one comes to enjoy through practice and in which one finds the end of sorrow. The sentence continues into the next verse. The mention of practice is important: higher happiness is not stumbled upon but cultivated over time. It also responds to the human longing that runs beneath every action, the wish to be free from pain.
