One who is freed from these three – kAma (lust), krOdha (anger) and lObha (greed) which are the causes of darkness (i.e., misunderstanding about me), works for his well-being (to be favourable towards me having acquired true knowledge about me); subsequently, he attains the greatest goal of me (the supreme lord).<\/p>\n ‘The man, Kaunteya! who, from these triple dark portals, is rescued, works for soul\u2019s good; thence<\/a> to the Highest End does he wend<\/a>.’<\/span><\/p>\n The three tamas-doors<\/em>=doors of darkness, viz:<\/em> lust, wrath and greed, which beget curious wrong notions regarding Myself. The man who shakes them off, finds he can work for the good of the soul (or employ himself in a manner that is conducive to the advantage of the soul). Having gained (true) knowledge of Myself, he will ever work in harmony, or in a friendly spirit, towards Me. And thence he proceeds to the Highest End<\/em> = Sublime Goal \u2014Myself.<\/span><\/p>\n That disregard of \u015a\u0101stra is the sure cause of leading to Naraka is now pointed out:<\/span><\/p>\n >> Chapter 16 Verse 23<\/a><\/p>\n archived in https:\/\/githa.koyil.org<\/a><\/p>\n pramEyam (goal) \u2013 http:\/\/koyil.org<\/a> SrI:\u00a0 SrImathE SatakOpAya nama:\u00a0 SrImathE rAmAnujAya nama:\u00a0 SrImath varavaramunayE nama: Chapter 16 << Chapter 16 Verse 21 SlOkam \u2013 Original Ethair vimuktha: kaunthEya thamOdhvArais thribhir nara: | AcharathyAthmana: SrEyas thathO yAthi parAm gathim || word-by-word meaning kaunthEya – Oh son of kunthI! thamO dhvArai: – the cause of darkness (i.e., misunderstanding about me) Ethai: thribhi: … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-chapter-16","category-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6485\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/githa.koyil.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}SlOkam \u2013 Original<\/a><\/h3>\n
