"These hateful, cruel ones, the lowest among men, the inauspicious, I cast down unceasingly, in the cycle of rebirth, into demoniac wombs alone. Attaining a demoniac birth life after life, deluded, they do not reach Me, O son of Kunti, and then descend to the lowest state. There are three gates of hell that destroy the soul: desire, anger, and greed. Therefore one should abandon this triad. Freed from these three gates of darkness, O son of Kunti, a person acts for his own highest good and then attains the supreme goal. But one who, casting aside the injunction of scripture, acts according to the whim of desire, attains neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme goal. Therefore let scripture be your authority in determining what is to be done and what is not to be done. Having understood the action prescribed by the ordinance of scripture, you should act accordingly here."

Krishna concludes with a practical criterion: desire, anger, and greed lead downward, while scripture restores the ability to distinguish right from wrong. Freedom begins not with self-will, but with submission to truth.
