Arjuna is paralyzed by grief, so Krishna teaches: all sensory experiences—pleasure and pain, hot and cold—are temporary ('anityāḥ') and arise from sense contact ('mātrā-sparśāḥ'). The command is 'titikṣasva'—endure them. This isn't suppression; it's understanding. These experiences come and go like weather. You don't need to chase pleasure or flee pain—both are temporary visitors. The insight: your wellbeing depends on seeing through their impermanent nature, not on arranging circumstances.
