Bhagavad Gita 2.62
What we keep replaying in our minds slowly grows into wanting — and unmet wanting often turns into anger.
Bhagavad Gita · Chapter 2, Verse 62
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते।
सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते॥
dhyāyato viṣayān puṁsaḥ saṅgas teṣūpajāyate
saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho 'bhijāyate
Translation
When a person dwells on objects of the senses, attachment to them arises. From attachment comes desire, and from desire comes anger.
हिन्दी भावार्थ
विषयों का चिंतन करने से उनमें आसक्ति पैदा होती है। आसक्ति से कामना जन्म लेती है, और कामना से क्रोध उत्पन्न होता है।
In simple words Interpretation
What we keep replaying in our minds slowly grows into wanting — and unmet wanting often turns into anger.
Context
Krishna traces, step by step, how the mind spirals. It's one of the earliest descriptions of the link between rumination and reactivity.
When this may help
When you notice yourself replaying something again and again, or when anger seems to come from nowhere.
Reflection question
What thought have you been returning to again and again?
A small practice
When you catch yourself replaying something today, gently say "replaying" and return to your breath.
Reflect on this verse, save your thoughts or share it as a card.
