Root of wrong choices

(2-62)

[dhyAyatO vishayAn punsah sanghas-tEshu upajAyatE

sanghAt sanjAyatE kAmah kAmAt krOdhah abhijAyatE]

From thinking about sensory objects, there arises attachment to them;

From attachment arises desire, and from desire arises anger.

(2-63)

[krOdhAt bhavati sam-mOhah sam-mOhat smriti vibramah

smriti bramshAt buddhi nAsho buddhi nAshAt praNashayti]

From anger arises delusion, and from delusion the loss of memory;

Loss of memory results in inability to discriminate (right from wrong),

and one who can't discriminate is destroyed.
