Bhagavad Gita 3.37 — Desire is the enemy

श्रीभगवानुवाच। काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः। महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ॥

śrībhagavānuvāca | kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajoguṇasamudbhavaḥ | mahāśano mahāpāpmā viddhyenamiha vairiṇam ||

Meaning

Krishna said: It is desire, it is anger, born of the quality of passion (rajas). It is never satisfied and is very sinful; know it to be the enemy here.
