A man who is liberated from these three gates to darkness, O Arjuna, practises what is good for him and thus goes to the Supreme Goal.

A person released from these three gates of darkness, son of Kunti, does what is truly good for himself and then reaches the highest goal.

The positive side follows. One who is freed from these three gates of darkness (tamas) begins to act for his own true good (śreyas) and then reaches the highest goal. The verse makes the path to freedom start with what one stops doing. Once desire, anger and greed lose their hold, the person can see and choose what is genuinely beneficial. It is an encouraging counterweight to the grim verses before it.
