Bhagavad Gita 2.8
न हि प्रपश्यामि ममापनुद्या द्यच्छोकमुच्छोषणमिन्द्रियाणाम्। अवाप्य भूमावसपत्नमृद्धम् राज्यं सुराणामपि चाधिपत्यम्॥
na hi prapaśhyāmi mamāpanudyād yach-chhokam uchchhoṣhaṇam-indriyāṇām avāpya bhūmāv-asapatnamṛiddhaṁ rājyaṁ surāṇāmapi chādhipatyam
Translation
For I see not that it would drive away this anguish that withers up my senses, if I should attain unrivalled monarchy on earth, or even the sovereignty of the Shining Ones.
What it means
No kingdom on earth or heaven, he says, could remove this grief. Arjuna has discovered that the problem is not out there. When no external prize can cure a pain, the pain is pointing at something internal.
Try this today
No external prize can fix an internal conflict. If the wound is in meaning, more reward is not medicine.
Something to reflect on
Am I trying to fix an inner problem with an outer prize?
