What kind of action do they perform? Those men of atheistic outlook don't believe in their soul, their intellect is meagre; deeds are very fierce; they are enemies of the world. Such people apply their power for the destruction of others. Filled with insatiable desires, full of hypocrisy, pride and arrogance, holding evil ideas through delusion, they work in the world with impure resolve.(9-10) What is the concept of life for them? Beset with immense cares ending only with death and given to the enjoyment of sensual pleasures and accumulation of wealth, they believe that, the highest limit of joy consists only in it.(11) What do they strive for, O Lord? Held in bondage by hundreds of ties of expectation, given over to lust and anger, they strive to obtain, by unjust means, hoards of wealth for the enjoyment of sensual pleasures.(12) What are their expectations? This wealth has been gained by me today and now I shall fulfil this desire. This wealth is, already mine and this wealth shall also be mine in future. This enemy has been already slain by us and others also shall we slay. We are lords, we are the enjoyers; we are perfect, powerful and happy. We are wealthy. There are so many people with us. Who else can be equal to us? We shall perform sacrifices, give charity and rejoice. Thus being deluded by ignorance they have many ambitions.(13—15) |
