COMMENTARY
When these three gates to hell are abandoned, the path to salvation is
cleared for the aspirant. He gets the company of sages, which leads to liberation. He receives
spiritual instructions and practises them. He hears the scriptures, reflects, meditates and attains
Self-realisation.
Yah shaastravidhimutsrijya vartate kaamakaaratah;
Na sa siddhimavaapnoti na sukham na paraam gatim.
23. He who, casting aside the ordinances of the scriptures, acts under the impulse of desire,
attains neither perfection nor happiness nor the supreme goal.
