Kaṭha Upaniṣad 2.1

2.1

anyac chreyo 'nyad utaiva preyas te ubhe nānārthe puruṣaṃ sinītaḥ /
tayoḥ śreya ādadānasya sādhu bhavati hīyate 'rthād ya u preyo vṛṇīte //

1. The better (śreyas) is one thing, and the pleasanter (preyas) quite another.
Both these, of different aim, bind a person.
Of these two, well is it for him who takes the better;
He fails of his aim who chooses the pleasanter.
