सांख्ययोग • The Yoga of Transcendent Analytical Knowledge
ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते। सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते॥
dhyāyato viṣayān puṁsaḥ saṅgas teṣūpajāyate saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho 'bhijāyate
हिन्दी भावार्थ (Hindi Translation)
विषयों का चिन्तन करने वाले पुरुष की उन विषयों में आसक्ति हो जाती है; आसक्ति से उन विषयों की कामना (इच्छा) उत्पन्न होती है और कामना में विघ्न पड़ने से क्रोध उत्पन्न होता है।
English Translation
While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment to them. From attachment arises longing and desire, and from unfulfilled desire arises wrath and anger.
