Bhagavad Gita:
अर्जुन उवाच
अथ के न प्रयुक्तोऽयं पापं चरति पूरुषः ।
अनिच्छन्नपि वार्ष्णेय बलादिव नियोजितः ||3.36||
Arjuna said: O descendant of Vṛṣṇi, by what is one impelled to sinful acts, even unwillingly, as if engaged by force?
श्री भगवानुवाच
काम एष क्रोध एष रजोगुणसमुद्भवः ।
महाशनो महापाप्मा विद्ध्येनमिह वैरिणम् ॥3.37॥
The Supreme Personality of Godhead said: It is lust only, Arjuna, which is born of contact with the
material mode of passion and later transformed into wrath, and which is the all-devouring sinful
enemy of this world.
DHAMA
न तद्भासयते सूर्यो न शशाङ्को न पावक: ।
यद्गत्वा न निवर्तन्ते तद्धाम परमं मम ॥ ६ ॥
That supreme abode of Mine is not illumined by the sun or moon, nor by fire or electricity. Those
who reach it never return to this material world.
