Chapter 16
They, due to greed have to be afraid of their sons and daughters etc. They are also afraid of servants etc., lest the latter should go, on strike.
Question:- Strivers possessing a divine nature also think of earning money. Then, what is the difference between them and the people, who possess a demoniac nature?
Answer:- Though both of them seem to possess the same disposition, yet there is a vast difference, between the two. A strivers aim is God-realization, so he is not engrossed in hankering after pleasure and prosperity, while a person of demoniac nature, gets engrossed, because his aim is to enjoy worldly prosperity and sensual pleasure.
Appendix:- Here the Lord explains the expression 'kamopabhogaparamah' (Those who are given up desire and sensuality) used in the eleventh verse.
