    ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते।
    सङ्गात् संजायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥

    saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho ’bhijāyate

    When one thinks of objects, attachment to them arises; from attachment, desire is born; from desire, anger arises.
  2. 2.63

    क्रोधाद्भवति संमोहः संमोहात्स्मृतिविभ्रमः।
    स्मृतिभ्रंशाद् बुद्धिनाशो बुद्धिनाशात्प्रणश्यति ॥

    krodhād bhavati sammohaḥ sammohāt smṛiti-vibhramaḥ
    smṛiti-bhranśhād buddhi-nāśho buddhi-nāśhāt praṇaśhyati

    Anger leads to delusion, which causes loss of memory; this, in turn, leads to the destruction of discrimination, resulting in destruction.

    न चाभावयतः शान्तिरशान्तस्य कुतः सुखम् ॥

    nāsti buddhir-ayuktasya na chāyuktasya bhāvanā
    na chābhāvayataḥ śhāntir aśhāntasya kutaḥ sukham

    There is no knowledge of the Self for the unsteady, and no meditation is possible for the unsteady, and no peace for the unmeditative, and how can there be happiness for one who has no peace?

    योगयुक्तो विशुद्धात्मा विजितात्मा जितेन्द्रियः।
    सर्वभूतात्मभूतात्मा कुर्वन्नपि न लिप्यते ॥

    sarva-bhūtātma-bhūtātmā kurvann api na lipyate

    He who is devoted to the path of action, whose mind is pure, who has conquered the self, who has subdued his senses, and who realizes his Self as the Self in all beings, though acting, is not tainted.
  5. 5.8

    नैव किंचित्करोमीति युक्तो मन्येत तत्त्ववित्।
    पश्यन् श्रृणवन्स्पृशञ्जिघ्रन्नश्नन्गच्छन्स्वपन् श्वसन् ॥

    naiva kiñchit karomīti yukto manyeta tattva-vit
    paśhyañ śhṛiṇvan spṛiśhañjighrann aśhnangachchhan svapañśhvasan
    pralapan visṛijan gṛihṇann unmiṣhan nimiṣhann api
    indriyāṇīndriyārtheṣhu vartanta iti dhārayan

    I do nothing at all," thus would the harmonized knower of Truth think, seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, going, sleeping, and breathing.
