SHRIMAD BHAGVAD GITA-A JAIN PERSPECTIVE
There are three gates of hell, which are destructive of self, they are Lust, Anger & greed. Therefore, one should abandon them."21
एतैर्विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमोद्वारैस्त्रिभिर्नरः ।
आचरत्यात्मनः श्रेयस्ततो याति परां गतिम् ।। २२ ।।
"Oh, Kaunteya, one who is liberated from these gates practices what is good for his self and goes to the supreme goal "- 22 यः शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य वर्तते कामकारतः ।
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम् ॥ २३ ॥
"He who ignores scriptures and acts under the impulse of his desires does not attain perfection, happiness or supreme goal." - 23
तस्माच्छास्तं प्रमाणं ते कार्याकार्यव्यवस्थितौ ।
ज्ञात्वा शास्त्रविधानोक्तं कर्म कर्तुमिहार्हसि ॥ २४ ॥
"Therefore, let scriptures guide you in what ought to be done and what not to be done. You should act here in accordance with the knowledge you gather from scripters.24"
