एतैर्विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमोद्वारैस्त्रिभिर्नरः ।
आचरत्यात्मनः श्रेयस्ततो याति परां गतिम्

śreyas tato yāti parāṁ gatim

यः शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य वर्तते कामकारतः ।
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम्
॥१६-२३॥
yaḥ śāstravidhimutsṛjya vartate
kāmakārataḥ na sa siddhimavāpnoti na
sukhaṁ na parāṁ gatim
But he who discards scriptural injunctions and acts according to his base impulses attains neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme destination

These emotions are negative or demonic if they are experienced in the context of “me” and with the intention of self-gratification; they only lead to further delusion. However, when the context is changed to “you” and with the intention of enrichment of the other person; they evolve into positive energies that lead us closer to the supreme destination.
