KAṬHA UPANISHAD · 1.2.2

श्रेयश्च प्रेयश्च मनुष्यमेतः
तौ सम्परीत्य विविनक्ति धीरः ।
श्रेयो हि धीरोऽभि प्रेयसो वृणीते
प्रेयो मन्दो योगक्षेमाद्वृणीते ॥ २॥

śreyaśca preyaśca manuṣyametaḥ
tau samparītya vivinakti dhīraḥ ।
śreyo hi dhīro’bhi preyaso vṛṇīte
preyo mando yogakṣemādvṛṇīte ॥ 2॥

The good and the pleasant come to a man and the thoughtful mind turns all around them and distinguishes. The wise chooses out the good from the pleasant, but the dull soul chooses the pleasant rather than the getting of his good and its having.

Sri Aurobindo · CWSA 18, p. 108
