He who abandoning scripture ordinances, acts under the impulse of desire, does not attain perfection, nor happiness, nor the highest goal. Therefore in discriminating between what should be done and what should not be done, your authority (must be) scripture. And knowing what is declared by the ordinances of scripture, you should perform action in this world. Arguna said: What is the state of those, O Krishna! who worship with faith, (but) abandoning scripture ordinances goodness, passion, or darkness?
