=== Commentary (टीका) ===
The *Bhagavad Gita* in verse 3.37 provides essential insights into the nature of desire (*kāma*) and anger (*krodha*). Both are described as emerging from the *rajoguṇa* (mode of passion), characterized by activity and restlessness. These emotions are deemed all-devouring and all-sinful, highlighting their pervasive and destructive nature. As the commentary emphasizes, the unfulfilled desire can lead to anger, making them formidable adversaries on the path to self-realization. The verse suggests recognizing these tendencies as inner enemies that obscure wisdom and incite actions contrary to one's dharma.

The sloka underscores *kāma* and *krodha* as intricately linked; unfulfilled *kāma* leads to *krodha*. Furthermore, these tendencies arise from associating happiness with temporal, perishable objects, encouraging attachment and subsequently, greater desire. When indulgence continues, it exacerbates further desires, culminating in a relentless cycle, as Swami Ramsukhdas explains in the Hindi commentary. Real peace surfaces upon understanding desires as temporary and addressing service to others rather than self-indulgence.

Philosophically, this passage aligns with a broader Vedantic teaching: the renunciation of desires leads to freedom from bondage, allowing spiritual progress. By identifying desire and anger as manifestations from the mode of *rajas*, it encourages devotion to immutable spiritual truths, fostering an understanding and practice of self-control and contentment. This teaching supports the continuous strive for a sattvic (balanced) mind, steering away from the binding and tumultuous influence of *rajas*.
