क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः ।
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥
विषयोंका चिन्तन करनेवाले मनुष्यकी उन विषयोंमें आसक्ति पैदा हो जाती है । आसक्तिसे कामना पैदा होती है । कामनासे क्रोध पैदा होता है । क्रोध होनेपर सम्मोह मूढ़भाव हो जाता है । सम्मोहसे स्मृति भ्रष्ट हो जाती है । स्मृति भ्रष्ट होनेपर बुद्धिका नाश हो जाता है । बुद्धिका नाश होनेपर मनुष्यका पतन हो जाता है ॥

English
From anger comes delusion; from delusion, confusion of memory; from confusion of memory, loss of discernment; from loss of discernment, ruin.
It teaches you to interrupt anger early, before it hijacks memory and judgment.
इस श्लोक का अर्थ
Anger starts a chain reaction: confusion, broken memory, lost judgment, and finally self-destruction.
संदर्भ और टिप्पणी
On Kurukshetra, Arjuna’s crisis is not only about battle but about what happens inside a mind under pressure. Krishna traces the inner collapse: anger leads to confusion, confusion erases memory, memory loss destroys discernment, and then a person falls.
आज के जीवन में महत्व
You read one hostile message and your chest tightens. Within minutes, you forget what mattered, misread everything, and say the thing you’ll regret later.
“You can feel the warning inside anger before it turns into damage.”
