एतैर्विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमोद्वारैस्त्रिभिर्नरः । आचरत्यात्मनः श्रेयस्ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥ २२ ॥
etair vimuktaḥ kaunteya tamo-dvārais tribhir naraḥ ācharaty ātmanaḥ śhreyas tato yāti parāṁ gatim
Translation
One who is freed from these three gates of darkness, O son of Kunti, does what is good for the soul and thereby reaches the supreme goal.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
हे कौन्तेय! इन तीनों अंधकार के द्वारों से मुक्त हुआ मनुष्य अपने कल्याण का आचरण करता है, और इससे परम गति को प्राप्त होता है।
Commentary
The positive side: once free of desire, anger and greed, a person naturally begins to act for their true good (shreyas). Spiritual progress is described here less as adding something and more as removing obstacles; what remains will find its way.
