Shloka 6
हर्षेण बाध्यते शोको हर्ष: शोकेन बाध्यते । वक्िद् दुःखे वर्तमान: सुखस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छति । वश्चित् सुखे वर्तमानो दुःखस्य स्मर्तुमिच्छति,हर्षसे शोक बाधित होता है और शोकसे हर्ष। कोई दु:ःखमें पड़कर सुखकी याद करना चाहता है और कोई सुखी होकर दुःखकी याद करना चाहता है
harṣeṇa bādhyate śoko harṣaḥ śokena bādhyate | kaścid duḥkhe vartamānaḥ sukhasya smartum icchati | kaścit sukhe vartamāno duḥkhasya smartum icchati ||
قال فايُو: «يُكفُّ الحزنُ بالفرح، ويُكفُّ الفرحُ بالحزن. فمن وقع في العذاب تاقت نفسه إلى تذكّر السعادة؛ ومن عاش في السعادة اختار أن يتذكّر الشقاء.»
वायुदेव उवाच
Educational Q&A
Joy and sorrow are mutually corrective and unstable; the mind swings between them, either yearning for happiness while suffering or recalling suffering even while enjoying comfort. The verse points toward steadiness and non-attachment amid changing emotional states.
Vāyudeva is speaking, offering a reflective observation on human experience: how people respond mentally to adversity and prosperity, and how opposite emotions arise to restrain or disturb the present state.
