KAṬHA UPANISHAD · 1.2.1
अन्यच्छ्रेयोऽन्यदुतैव प्रेयस्ते उभे नानार्थे पुरुषँ सिनीतः ।
तयोः श्रेय आददानस्य साधु
भवति हीयतेऽर्थाद्य उ प्रेयो वृणीते ॥ १॥
anyacchreyo’nyadutaiva preyaste ubhe nānārthe puruṣam̐ sinītaḥ ।
tayoḥ śreya ādadānasya sādhu
bhavati hīyate’rthādya u preyo vṛṇīte ॥ 1॥
One thing is the good and quite another thing is the pleasant, and both seize upon a man with different meanings. Of these whoso takes the good, it is well with him; he falls from the aim of life who chooses the pleasant.
Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 18, p. 108
