16.23 yaḥ who, śāstravidhim the ordinance of the scriptures, utsṛjya having cast aside, vartatē acts, kāmakārataḥ under the impulse of desire, na not, saḥ he, siddhim perfection, avāpnōti attains, na not, sukham happiness, na not, parām Supreme, gatim Goal.
Commentary:
"He who does not care for the Self, who gives free rein to these three sins, is a traitor to the Self." He who has renounced the authority of the Vedas which, like a mother, is eally disposed and kind to all, and which, like a beaconlight, points out what is good and what is evil, does not attain perfection nor happiness nor the Supreme Goal. He who pays no attention to prescribed actions and follows the promptings of desire awakened by the senses, does not obtain God.
