In plain words
Every being seeks happiness and never pain. Yet suffering takes root in two claims: Ahaṃtā, the thought ‘I am this body,’ and the Mamatā that follows, ‘this is mine.’ From body-identity come disease and injury; the loss of spouse, child or wealth feels like disaster, while the death of an enemy does not.
Close to the Sanskrit
Everyone in the three worlds strives for happiness, never for sorrow. The two abodes of sorrow are Ahaṃtā—‘I’-ness fixed in the body—and Mamatā, ‘mine’-ness toward its objects. Because body-identity persists, one undergoes disease, injury and the rest; at the loss of wife, child or wealth one meets the greatest calamity, though not at the destruction of an enemy.
