Even if you are considered to be the most sinful of all sinners, when you are situated in the boat of Transcendental knowledge, you will be able to cross over the ocean of miseries.

As the blazing fire turns firewood to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the fire of knowledge burn to ashes all reactions to material activities.

Therefore the doubts which have arisen in your heart out of ignorance should be slashed by the weapon of knowledge. Armed with yoga, O Bhārata, stand and fight.

Bhagavad Gita As It Is – Chapter 4/ Texts 36, 37, 42

Beauty, Goodness, Truth (kalon ‘beautiful’, agathon ‘good’, alethes ‘true’) form a separate subgroup within the general family of Transcendentals appearing in the Bhagavad Gita to describe ‘words which are good and beautiful and true’.

Jesus alludes to Transcendentals when he mentions a person’s capacities in mind, soul and heart in the Greatest Commandment.

Vices can mislead one towards egoism (might/success), materialism (wealth/money) and hedonism (pleasure/satisfaction).

Jesus was tempted by them and rejected them before he started public life. In Christianity, believers are called to seek virtues of faith, hope and love that relate directly to God who Himself is Truth, Beauty and Goodness.
