[ BHAGAVAD GITA · 2.62 · spoken by Krishna ]
How anger is actually born — Krishna traces it, four steps back.
For a person dwelling on sense objects, attachment to them arises. From attachment, desire is born. And from desire, anger arises.
SANSKRIT
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते । सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥२-६२॥
KRISHNA’S LINE
“Anger does not begin with anger. It begins with where your mind is allowed to dwell. Dwelling breeds attachment. Attachment breeds craving. Craving, denied, becomes rage. Trace it back far enough.”
