CHAPTER 16 The Yog of Telling The Devine From the Demoniacal आसुरीं योनिमापन्ना मूढा जन्मनि जन्मनि। मामप्राप्यैव कौन्तेय ततो यान्त्यधमां गतिम् ॥20॥ [ “Instead of realizing me, O son of Kunti, these ignorant fools, conceived in devilish wombs birth after birth, are doomed to fall yet lower to the most degraded state.’’ ] This degradation is given the name of hell. So let us now view the origin of this hell. त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मन:। काम:क्रोधस्तथालोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ॥21॥ [ “Since lust, anger, and greed are the three gateways to hell because they are destructive of the Self, they ought to be forsaken.” ] Lust, anger, and greed are the three bases on which demoniacal impulses rest. So giving them up is a profitable enterprise.
