"Threefold is this gate of hell, destroyer of the self — LUST (kāma) · ANGER (krodha) · GREED (lobha) — therefore one should ABANDON these three."

BG 16.23-24 · Śāstra as Pramāṇa

"He who abandons śāstra-vidhi and acts from kāma-impulse attains neither siddhi nor sukha nor the supreme goal. Therefore let ŚĀSTRA be your PRAMĀṆA (authority) in determining what is to be done and what is not." — BG 16.23-24
