When a person broods upon sense-objects, attachment to them is born; from attachment arises desire; from desire, anger is kindled.

The Bhagavad Gita, translated and commentated by S. Radhakrishnan, is one of the most scholarly and accessible English renderings of Hinduism's most beloved scripture — the dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Radhakrishnan, philosopher and statesman, brings both rigorous intellectual insight and genuine spiritual depth to his translation and notes. This edition is treasured for its ability to illuminate the Gita's universal spiritual teaching across cultural and philosophical boundaries.

Same theme, different voices
A person of strong character should always keep their anger at a distance.
Remember Him, respect His creation, and love everyone. Be pure, humble, and respectful. Let go of hatred, anger, desire, and attachment.
Farid, do good in return for evil, and do not let your heart turn to anger. If your body contracts no ills, you will earn all that you desire.
This is nothing less than tempting God and angering Him greatly, to the point where He sometimes allows the devil to deceive them.
