śreyaś ca preyaś ca manuṣyam etas tau saṃparītya vivinakti dhīraḥ /
śreyo hi dhīro 'bhi preyaso vṛṇīte preyo mando yogakṣemād vṛṇīte ///1,2.2 //

2. Both the good and the pleasant approach the mortal; the intelligent man examines and distinguishes them; for, the intelligent man prefers the good to the pleasant; the ignorant man chooses the pleasant for the sake of his body.
