Chapter 2 · Verse 62
Sankhya Yoga
सांख्ययोग
In plain words
You must watch your thoughts closely, because dwelling on sensory pleasures breeds attachment. This attachment quickly turns into intense desire, and when those desires are blocked, anger inevitably flares up. This downward spiral is how maya, the cosmic illusion, traps you. To live your true dharma, or righteous path, you must prevent this chain reaction before it starts.
Translation
2.62 To a man thinking about sense-objects, there arises attachment to them; form attachment arises desire, from desire arises anger;
Meaning
When a man thinks of the beauty and the pleasant and alluring features of the senseobjects he becomes attached to them. He then regards them as something worthy of acisition and possession and hankers after them. He develops a strong desire to possess them. Then he endeavours his level best to obtain them. When his desire is frustrated by some cause or other anger arises in his mind. If anybody puts any obstruction in his way of obtaining the objects he hates him fights with him and develops hostility towards hi. (Cf. II.64).
