Bhagavad Gita 16.21
त्रिविधं नरकस्येदं द्वारं नाशनमात्मनः।कामः क्रोधस्तथा लोभस्तस्मादेतत्त्रयं त्यजेत्॥
tri-vidhaṁ narakasyedaṁ dvāraṁ nāśhanam ātmanaḥ kāmaḥ krodhas tathā lobhas tasmād etat trayaṁ tyajet
Translation
Triple is the gate of this hell, destructive of the self—lust, wrath, and greed; therefore let man renounce these three.
What it means
Threefold is the gate to this hell, the destroyer of the self: lust, anger and greed; therefore one should abandon these three. The entire chapter is compressed into three words. Guard these gates and the rest of virtue is manageable.

The three gates named: desire, anger, greed - the chapter's actionable summary.
Something to reflect on
Of lust, anger and greed, which gate do I need to guard this year?
