CHAPTER 16
The Yog of Telling
The Devine From the Demoniacal

दम्भो दर्पोऽभिमानश्च क्रोध: पारुष्यमेव च।
अज्ञानं चाभिजातस्य पार्थ संपदमासुरीम् ॥4॥

[ “Ostentation, arrogance and conceit as well as wrath, harsh speech, and ignorance are all, O Parth, the qualities of a man with devilish character.” ]

Now the respective operations of the two kinds of character are elaborated.

दैवीसंपद्विमोक्षाय निबन्धायासुरी मता।
मा शुच: संपदं दैवीमभिजातोऽसि पाण्डव ॥5॥

[ “Since it is established, O Pandav, that while the treasure of divinity liberates and the demoniacal state acts as a shackle, you have no need to grieve for you are blessed with divine riches.” ]

Possessed as he is of a sacred disposition, Arjun will surely attain to salvation and thus to the state of Krishn himself. But in whom do the wealth of divinity and demoniacal impulses abide?
