Is there then no hope of emancipation to the man caught in the whirlpool of this three faced hell?

Liberation from Asura Fetters - 22

1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 16 - Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga - Sloka 22

Etaih vimuktah kaunteya tamah dwaraih tribhih narah I

Acharati atmanah dheyah tatah yati param gatim II sloka 22

एतैः विमुक्तः कौन्तेय तमः द्वारैः त्रिभिः नरः I 
आचरति आत्मनः धेयः ततः यति परम् गतिं II श्लोक 22 

The man who is liberated from these three gates to darkness, O Kaunteya, practises what is good for him and thus goes to the supreme good. 

Misery is another name for hell. Whenever man is afflicted and unhappy he is for the time being in hell. And why should there be this unwanted hellishness for him? It is all due to his want of insight. Ignorance is the root of all misery. It is again the originator of lust, anger and greed. Ignorance is the instigator inducing man to indulge in lust, anger and greed and produces perverse knowledge about Me. When these three evils are eliminated, the path of enlightenment opens. Such a person works for the good of his soul. Having gained knowledge about Me, he makes effort to worship Me and finally reaches the supreme goal which is Me. 

Which is the unerring guidance that helps man to Godward? The guidance comes.
