Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 3, Verse 37

Krishna said

काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः।महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ॥3.37॥

kāma eṣa krodha eṣa rajoguṇasamudbhavaḥmahāśano mahāpāpmā viddhyenamiha vairiṇam

Meaning

Krishna answers: "It is desire, and it is anger, born of rajas (the quality of restless passion). It is never satisfied and leads to great wrong. Know it as the enemy here."

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण उत्तर देते हैं: "यह काम (इच्छा) है, यही क्रोध है, जो रजोगुण से पैदा होता है। यह कभी तृप्त नहीं होता और बड़े पाप करवाता है। इसे ही यहाँ शत्रु जानो।"

Practise it today

When anger rises today, ask yourself: "What did I want that I am not getting?" Name the desire before you respond.

Reflect tonight

When you got angry today, what desire was underneath it? Did naming it change your response?
