In that devotional service, the liberation of the conditioned soul is guaranteed. Therefore, according to the Vedic system, there are instituted the four orders of life and the four statuses of life, called the caste system and the spiritual order system. There are different rules and regulations for different castes or divisions of society, and if a person is able to follow them, he will be automatically raised to the highest platform of spiritual realization. Then he can have liberation without a doubt. #/p# #/div# #/div# please wait#div class="mw-parser-output"# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TEXT_22"#TEXT 22#/span##/h4# #div class="devanagari"# #dl##dd#एतैर्विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमोद्वारैस्त्रिभिर्नरः ।#/dd# #dd#आचरत्यात्मनः श्रेयस्ततो याति परां गतिम् ॥२२॥#/dd##/dl# #/div# #div class="verse"# #dl##dd#etair vimuktaḥ kaunteya#/dd# #dd#tamo-dvārais tribhir naraḥ#/dd# #dd#ācaraty ātmanaḥ śreyas#/dd# #dd#tato yāti parāṁ gatim#/dd##/dl# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="SYNONYMS"#SYNONYMS#/span##/h4# #div class="synonyms"# #p##i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=etaiḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#etaiḥ#/i# — from these; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=vimuktaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#vimuktaḥ#/i# — being liberated; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=kaunteya&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#kaunteya#/i# — O son of Kuntī; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tamaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tamaḥ-#a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=dvāraiḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#dvāraiḥ#/i# — from the gates of ignorance; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tribhiḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tribhiḥ#/i# — of three kinds; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=naraḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#naraḥ#/i# — a person; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ācarati&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ācarati#/i# — performs; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=ātmanaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#ātmanaḥ#/i# — for the self; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=śreyaḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#śreyaḥ#/i# — benediction; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=tataḥ&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#tataḥ#/i# — thereafter; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=yāti&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#yāti#/i# — he goes; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=parām&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#parām#/i# — to the supreme; #i##a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" class="external text" href="//vanipedia.org/wiki/Special:VaniSearch?s=gatim&tab=syno_o&ds=1"#gatim#/i# — destination. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="TRANSLATION"#TRANSLATION#/span##/h4# #div class="translation"# #p#The man who has escaped these three gates of hell, O son of Kuntī, performs acts conducive to self-realization and thus gradually attains the supreme destination. #/p# #/div# #h4##span class="mw-headline" id="PURPORT"#PURPORT#/span##/h4# #div class="purport"# #p#One should be very careful of these three enemies to human life: lust, anger and greed.
