Bhagavad Gita 2.44 — Distracted by pleasure

भोगैश्वर्यप्रसक्तानां तयापहृतचेतसाम्। व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिः समाधौ न विधीयते ॥

bhogaiśvaryaprasaktānāṃ tayāpahṛtacetasām | vyavasāyātmikā buddhiḥ samādhau na vidhīyate ||

Meaning

Those attached to pleasure and power, whose minds are carried away by such talk, cannot develop the steady, single-pointed mind needed for deep meditation.
