Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 16, Verse 21

Krishna said

त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मनः।कामः क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत् ॥16.21॥

trividhaṃ narakasyedaṃ dvāraṃ nāśanamātmanaḥkāmaḥ krodhastathā lobhastasmādetattrayaṃ tyajet

Meaning

Krishna names three gates to hell that bring about one's own ruin: desire, anger and greed. Therefore, he says, one should give up all three.

हिंदी में अर्थ

श्रीकृष्ण नरक के तीन द्वार बताते हैं जो मनुष्य का अपना ही पतन करते हैं: काम, क्रोध और लोभ। इसलिए इन तीनों को छोड़ देना चाहिए।

Practise it today

Each time you notice desire, anger or greed today, name it silently ('this is anger') and take three slow breaths before you act.

Reflect tonight

Which of the three showed up most today? Did naming it loosen its grip?
