Bhagavad Gita 3.37

Lord Shri Krishna: It is desire, it is aversion, born of passion. Desire consumes and corrupts all things. It is the greatest enemy of man.

श्री भगवानुवाच
काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः।
महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम्॥

śrī bhagavānuvāca
kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajoguṇasamudbhavaḥ|
mahāśano mahāpāpmā viddhyenamiha vairiṇam||
