Bhagavad Gita 2.62
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते। सङ्गात् संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते॥
dhyāyato viṣayānpuṃsaḥ saṅgasteṣūpajāyate saṅgāt saṃjāyate kāmaḥ kāmātkrodho'bhijāyate
Meaning
When a person dwells on the objects of sense, they create an attraction for them; this attraction develops into desire, and desire breeds anger.
Understanding this verse
Simple meaning
Krishna explains how trouble starts: when you keep thinking about something you want, attachment grows; attachment becomes desire; and when desire is blocked, it turns into anger.
In real life
Someone keeps scrolling through a friend's holiday photos, starts wanting the same, and ends up irritated with their own life and family.
A person fixates on getting a promotion. When a colleague gets it instead, the attachment turns into resentment and anger.
Try this today: When you catch yourself replaying a want over and over, change the input: put the phone down or step away for ten minutes.
