एतैर्विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमोद्वारैस्त्रिभिर्नरः।आचरत्यात्मनः श्रेयस्ततो याति परां गतिम्।।16.22।।

etair vimuktaḥ kaunteya tamo-dvārais tribhir naraḥ ācharaty ātmanaḥ śhreyas tato yāti parāṁ gatim

Meaning

Arjuna, anyone who escapes those three pits of despair is all about doing what's good for themselves and totally achieves the ultimate goal.

Commentary

Yo, when you ditch those three hellacious gateways to darkness, the path to enlightenment is totally clear. You'll be vibing with gurus, which is key to liberation. You'll soak up spiritual knowledge, put it into action, and achieve self-realization through studying scriptures, reflecting, and meditating.
