Bewildered by multiple anxieties and entangled in a web of delusions, the demoniac are too deeply attached to sense pleasures and fall into a foul hell. The accumulation of delusions, anxieties, and attachments ultimately leads the demoniac downward into hellish conditions — both in this life and beyond.
- •Multiple anxieties and a web of delusions are the inevitable fruit of the demoniac path
- •Attachment to sense pleasure is the gravitational force that pulls consciousness downward
- •The demoniac trajectory leads inevitably to degraded states of existence
Asurim yonim apanna mudha janmani janmani, mam aprapyaiva kaunteya tato yanty adhamam gatim
Taking birth again and again in demoniac species of life, such foolish souls can never approach Me, O son of Kunti, and they gradually sink to the most abominable type of existence. The demoniac trajectory is one of cumulative descent — each birth further from God and deeper into degradation — until the most abominable state is reached.
- •Repeated demoniac births progressively distance the soul from God
- •Without approaching the Supreme, the demoniac slide into ever more degraded forms
- •The path of the demoniac leads ultimately to the most abominable conditions of existence
