Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 10 - Chapter 1 - Verse 11


Sanskrit:

य एनं विसृजेद् धर्मं परम्पर्यागतं नर: । कामाद् द्वेषाद्भ‍याल्लोभात्स वै नाप्नोति शोभनम् ॥ ११ ॥

ITRANS:

ya enaṁ visṛjed dharmaṁparamparyāgataṁ naraḥkāmād dveṣād bhayāl lobhātsa vai nāpnoti śobhanam

Translation:

This religious principle is based on sound tradition. Anyone who rejects it out of lust, enmity, fear or greed will certainly fail to achieve good fortune.

Purport:

If a person neglects his religious duties because of lust, envy, fear or greed, his life will never be brilliant or perfect.
