श्लोक का अर्थ

Desire, born from restlessness, turns into anger and destroys clarity. Krishna says to recognize it as an enemy before it takes over.

Arjuna has asked why people act against their own judgment. Krishna answers on the battlefield: the real enemy is not outside, but the force of desire rising into anger and blinding discernment. This verse names it so Arjuna can fight it first.

आज के संदर्भ में

You open a message, feel ignored, and the irritation hardens into a cutting reply. The first spark looked harmless; the full fire changes everything.
