Bhagavad Gita 16.21 — Three gates to hell

त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मनः। कामः क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ॥

trividhaṃ narakasyedaṃ dvāraṃ nāśanamātmanaḥ | kāmaḥ krodhastathā lobhastasmādetattrayaṃ tyajet ||

Meaning

Lust, anger and greed — these are the three gates to hell that destroy the self. Therefore, one should give up all three.

In today's life

Before any big decision, ask yourself — is this coming from lust, anger or greed?
