Kamah esa krodhah eshah rajah guna samudbhavah I
Mahashanoh mahapapma viddhi enam iha vairinam II sloka 37
श्री भगवान उवाच
कामः एषः क्रोधः एषः रजः गुण समुद्भवः ।
महाशनः महापाप्मा विद्धि एनं इह वैरिणं ।। श्लोक ३७
The Blessed Lord said
It is desire, it is wrath begotten by Rajaguna: all consuming, all sinful, know this as the foe here on earth.
Desire is the most destructive foe of man. When this desire is obstructed it transforms itself into wrath. The Lord therefore treats both as one. It takes it origin in rajas and aggravates it further. As fire cannot be satiated by feeding it with fuel, desire cannot be appeased by supplying it with sense objects. The more it gluts, the more it craves. Sin increases in direct proportion to desire. It is therefore the arch enemy of man.
Time and again man gets humiliated because of his being a victim of lust and greed. Still he is unable to recoil from them and give his thought to God.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
