ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंस: सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते |
सङ्गात्सञ्जायते काम: कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते || 62||
While pondering on the objects of the senses, one gets attached to them. Attachment leads to desire, and from desire anger is born
Bhagwan Shri Krishna explains in this shloka how the uncontrolled mind germinates desire and ultimately becomes the cause of anger.
When we contemplate on the material things due to the false notion, solidified with constant advertisements or some other means, that material things are the source of happiness. We falsely attach joy to the fulfillment of sensory pleasures via materialistic things. We are attracted by material objects when we constantly think about them.
When we see, hear, smell, or touch things that our senses deem as the source of joy, our mind constantly remembers that object until its attainment and sometimes even beyond that. Our mind continuously contemplates achieving it by any means and that attaches us to that material object.
A desire to attain that object germinates inside our mind due to that attachment and that leads to anger when that desire is not fulfilled. In these stages, the individual loses their state of equanimity and is more focused on the materialistic world with its false promise of providing joy.
Bhagwan Shri Krishna explains to Arjuna the disadvantages of a wandering mind that is devoid of equanimity.
