BG 2.63Bhagavad Gītā

क्रोधाद्भवति सम्मोहः सम्मोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः |

krodhādbhavati sammohaḥ sammohātsmṛtivibhramaḥ .

2.63 From anger comes delusion; from delusion loss of memory; from loss of memory the destruction of discrimination; from the destruction of discrimination he perishes.

Why this verse: From anger, complete delusion arises. From delusion, bewilderment of memory. When memory is bewildered, intelligence is lost — a precise anatomy of why anger destroys the self first.

BG 2.62Bhagavad Gītā

ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते |

dhyāyato viṣayānpuṃsaḥ saṅgasteṣūpajāyate .

2.62 When a man thinks of the objects, attachment for them arises; from attachment desire is born; from desire anger arises.

Why this verse: While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment. From attachment, desire; from unfulfilled desire, anger — the chain reaction begins with a glance.
