Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 And the discussion is incomplete without knowing the Bad qualities which we should try to eradicate from our being..to become a decent person.<br><br> In the same chapter Shri Krishna explains the attributes of a demoniac person.<br><br>"Dwau Bhutsargau....Partha may shrinu" (16/6)<br><br>=> Two types of being are created in this world-the divine and the demoniac. Now O partha listen about the demoniac.<br><br>"Pravrittim.......teshu vidyatey" (16/7)<br><br>=> People of demoniac nature do not know what to do and what to refrain from doing. They have neither purity nor good conduct nor also truth.<br><br>=> They look upon the world as being devoid of truth, devoid of a basis, devoid of a god and as being brought about by mutual union and so as nothing but that which originated in lust (16/8)<br><br>=> Entertaining this view, these ruined souls with small intellect and fierce deeds are born for the destruction of the world as its enemies.(16/9)<br><br>=> Having recourse to insatiable desires and being full of HYPOCRISY, PRIDE AND ARROGANCE, they notorious for their impure vows, hold false views under the influence of delusion and act accordingly (16/10)<br><br>=>They are beset with numerous cares which can only end in death, regard the gratification of sensual desires as their highest aim and are convinced that this is all; they are also bound by a hundred ties of expectation and are susceptible to LUST and Anger. Being thus thrown into a state of bondage, they strive to collect by found means, hoards of wealth for sensual gratifications (16/11-12)<br><br>=> There are three kinds of gates, leading to hell which is destructive of self and these are LUST, ANGER AND GREED...therefore these should be shunned.(16/22)<br><br><br> So friends let us find the demoniac attributes in us and destroy them first <br><br>Hari Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
