The theme of 16th Adhyay is the analysis of divine(Daiva) and devilish(Asur) qualities that are present in every human being. Further, shri Krishna lists the qualities of divine and devilish humans.(1/7)
Fearlessness and purity of mind are the qualities of divine, while ostentation and arrogance are the qualities of devilish. According to him the divine qualities are a stepping stone towards self-realization and liberation, but the devilish qualities are a slippery slope.+(2.1/7)
Towards never-ending bondage and sorrow. Extreme materialism is considered no different than devilish nature. Shri Krishna says, the people with devilish nature are steeped in delusion and ignorance. Instead of bringing happiness, their infinite desires bring them worries.(2.2/7)
These infinite desires bind them and prod them to illegal and unethical means of accumulating wealth. Such people never realize that bu hating everyone, they hate God who dwells in everyone and everything, who is the base of this creation.(3/7)
They totally sever any association with whatever little values and conscience in them. Although such people think they are above all laws, but they are not above the law of karma. They get results of their action in this life and several others to come. (4/7)
Caring only for themselves, they have begun behaving like animals even when they're humans. Therefore, they cast into an endless cycle of births and deaths as animals, insects and other creatures. (5/7)
"य: शास्त्रविधिमुत्सृज्य वर्तते कामकारत: |
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम् ||"
"Those who act under the impulse of desire, discarding the injunctions of the scriptures, attain neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme goal in life."(6/7)
न स सिद्धिमवाप्नोति न सुखं न परां गतिम् ||"
"Those who act under the impulse of desire, discarding the injunctions of the scriptures, attain neither perfection, nor happiness, nor the supreme goal in life."(6/7)
Thus,to achieve peace and happiness in this world, and to put ourselves on the fast track of liberation we need to avoid three gates to hell:desire,anger and greed. We can do so by making scriptures,the motivator and prompter of our actions.(7/7)
