Chapter 16 verse 21
“There are three gates leading to the hell of self-destruction for the soul—lust, anger, and greed. Therefore, all should abandon these three.”
What
is hell for the soul, body, mind, intellect and ego? It is taking innumerous
births in material realm. What prompts the multiple births? It is the lasting
impressions on the individual soul of past karmas, behaviors and response to
situations. Non dharmic thoughts and actions necessitate the soul to undergo
difficult experience to exhaust those psychic imprints (vasana) to emerge out
of it. Three major negative emotions are lust, anger and greed. Expectation of
a particular result of action and attachment to a happy interaction with
material things lead to all 3 emotions-lust, anger and greed. Hell is right
here on earth with these behaviors.
