Translation
O Partha! The undiscerning who delight in the flowery words of the Vedas say that there is nothing beyond this (heaven). Full of desires, considering heaven as the highest, they speak of many actions that bestow enjoyment and prosperity, which in fact yield fruits in the form of rebirth. Those whose minds are carried away by this, who are attached to enjoyment and prosperity, do not have resolute intellect in their hearts—that is, they are not fit for the practice of meditation.
