Gita reflection Ch 16 verses 21 & 22

9th November 2024


What is hell? Is it a place of suffering that a soul reaches after leaving this body? Most religious scriptures and the Puranas of Hinduism describe hell as another world of experience.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna makes a profound statement: "This door of hell, which is the destroyer of the soul, is of three kinds: passion, anger, and greed."

Desire or passion causes anger, and it is the same that creates greed. Every seeker of liberation should take care of these three. 

The one who is free of these alone will start to pay attention to the wellness of the soul. Eventually, he obtains the highest human goal - liberation!
