the more you brood,
running to or from
the engulfing charming targets
luring audio-visual
fragrance-taste
or touch-embrace...
deeper gets the vicious, cyclic link
between the object, the feeling and the sensation
the link leading to yearning desire
and desire fulfilled can multiply
or unfulfilled
leaving one infested
with grumbling or frustration,
discontentment or rage...
and blindening rage, the sure source
of despairing delusion
gripping the memory
the recollections of words,
feelings, intentions, perceptions distort...
fractured, tainted memory
destroys the clear intelligent-thought
loss of intelligence...
surest shortcut to disaster!
The feverish pursuit
wishful window shopping, daydreams!
hankering on and on
on these objects of the body-sense
such a quick and queer trap
amazingly and tiringly endless cycle
vortex of wasteful and disastrous,
utter nonsense!

Dr. Ramanand Prasad
One develops attachment to sense objects by thinking about sense objects. Desire for sense objects comes from attachment to sense objects, and anger comes from unfulfilled desires. (2.62)
Delusion arises from anger. The mind is bewildered by delusion. Reasoning is destroyed when the mind is bewildered. One falls down (from the right path) when reasoning is destroyed. (2.63)

The True Yagya
Rage has no ears, nor does it have vision.
It only leads to reaction.
And reaction leads to regret.
Regret causes frustration.
Frustration clouds the reason.
Unreasonable acts provoke rage, and start a vicious cycle.
Self Knowledge and Devotion alone can free you from this vicious cycle.
In the fire of Knowledge, when rage and revenge are offered,
the warmth of the blemishless Self shines forth.
This is the true Yagya.
