दम्भो दर्पोऽभिमानश्च क्रोधः पारुष्यमेव च ।
अज्ञानं चाभिजातस्य पार्थ सम्पदमासुरीम् ॥

About chapter 16

Krishna lists the divine qualities that lead to freedom — fearlessness, purity of heart, charity, self-control, truthfulness, compassion and humility — and the demonic qualities that lead to bondage: hypocrisy, arrogance, anger and harshness. Desire, anger and greed are the three gates to hell. He advises living by the guidance of the scriptures.
