Inner Enemy

श्री भगवानुवाच काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः। महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम्॥

What does Bhagavad Gita 3.37 mean?

Krishna says that desire and anger arise from the mode of passion, and both are hugely destructive. Know this to be your greatest enemy and the very embodiment of sin.

How can I apply Gita 3.37 in daily life?

Desires never end; when one is fulfilled, another rises up in its place. When these desires overpower us, we lose our discernment. Recognizing this 'greed' and 'craving' within ourselves is the very beginning of conquering it.

Krishna's teaching

Krishna teaches that uncontrolled desire is the greatest enemy of humankind.

Affirmation

By keeping my desires in check and holding contentment as my true wealth, I live with joy and fulfillment.
