Srimad Bhagavadgita Sadhaka Sanjivani -Swami Ramsukhdas
Chapter 16
The sentient, has assumed its identification with the insentient and it has also accepted, the demoniac nature. The sentient, always remains uniform, without undergoing any modification, while nature (the insentient) undergoes, continuous modifications. If the self (sentient), does not assume its affinity of 'I'ness and mineness, with nature, it is free. Thus affinity of the sentient, with matter, and the demoniac nature born of this affinity, are one's own creation. Had the demoniac nature been in the self, it would not have perished, because the self is imperishable. No question would have been raised, to renounce demoniac nature. In spite of being perishable, it appears to be imperishable, because of its affinity with the imperishable. Therefore, a man can renounce, demoniac nature and can realize, God[1].
