Chapter 16
Daivaasurasampadvibhaga Yoga
10 – 17. Succumbing to their insatiable desires, full of pretensions, enveloped with excessive pride and arrogance, holding wrong views due to delusion, they behave with impure resolutions. Obsessed with innumerable cares ending only with the end of the worlds and fulfillment of desires as the only supreme goal, they remain self-assured. Bound by hundreds of shackles, subjected to desires and anger, they strive to enjoy desires by amassing wealth through unjust means. 'This has been gained by me; with this I will fulfill my desires; this is (mine) and the others also will be mine again through possessions, this enemy is slain by me and others also will be slain. I am the Supreme Lord, I am the enjoyer; I am the accomplisher, the strong and happy, rich and well-born, am I. Who else could there be one like me? I will perform sacrifices, I will give charities. I will enjoy.' Thus speak those deluded by nonawareness. Bewildered by many thoughts, enveloped by web of delusion, attached to gratifications of desires, they fall into the foulest hell. Self-righteous, otiose, filled with pride and arrogance of wealth, they perform sacrifices only in name, with arrogance and without regard to rules. |
