=== Commentary (टीका) ===
The verse advises Arjuna to cultivate *titikṣā* (endurance) towards the dual experiences of life, such as heat and cold, pleasure and pain. These sensations result from the contact between *mātrāsparśāḥ* (sense organs and objects), which are not stable and are temporary in nature – they have *āgama-apāyinaḥ* (an appearance and disappearance). Being *anitya* (impermanent), they should not be the cause of disturbance. The senses engage with their objects provoking responses that the mind perceives as either pleasurable or painful. However, the underlying teaching is to maintain equanimity and tolerance in fluctuating worldly experiences. This equips the individual to transcend over mere sensory observations, reflecting a higher state of awareness and spiritual resilience. The Bhagavad Gita through this verse emphasizes the philosophical view that true knowledge and peace arise from seeing beyond temporary joys and sorrows.
