ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते। सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते॥
dhyayato vishayan pumsah sangas teshupajayate sangat sanjayate kamah kamat krodho'bhijayate
Translation
When a person constantly thinks about sense objects, attachment to them develops. From attachment, desire arises. From desire, anger is born.
Commentary
Krishna maps the psychology of downfall: thought leads to attachment, attachment to desire, and unfulfilled desire to anger. Understanding this chain helps one break it at the earliest stage — by controlling what one thinks about.
