Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 3 verse 37


Chapter 3 verse 37

“The blessed lord said, it is desire, it is anger born of the ‘active’, all-devouring, all-sinful; know this as the foe here in this world”

What prevents a person to perform action without attachment- Krishna reminds Arjuna that as he has indicated before, it is desire for a particular result or attachment to a result which is the root cause of all issues. That desire for a particular result of action sets expectations in our mind which leads to anger when not fulfilled. Both attachment and desire for a particular result and anger results from aggressive tendency in the mind called “Rajo Guna”. Without some impetus for action through rajas-aggression, nothing can be achieved but that tendency has to be managed well.
