Dhrishtarashtra thought that as he himself was the king of the greatest kingdom Hastinapur, flanked by stalwarts like Bhishma Pitamah, Dronacharya, brother-in-law Shakuni and his own one hundred sons, he could never be defeated in any battle. How wrong was he proved in the end?

Bhishma Pitamah despite his extraordinary prowess and intelligence believed that he has to die only after the kingdom of Hastinapur (which was a fragment of the inferior material energy) is protected from enemies. Little did he know that he himself had no control over time the greatest leveler.

The demonic believe that satisfying one’s senses is the be all and end all of this life. This results in irrepressible desires, lust, fear, anger, illusion and false ego. All these lead one to hell.

The demonic are deluded by ignorance. They are happy tied to this impermanent material world.

Spiritualism

The world is full of living entities who are either divine or demonic. The demonic people are too ignorant to know what is to be done and what is not to be done. They are bound by the rope of incredible lust. The demonic natured people indulge in activities that are destructive to all including themselves and the world. They seek the refuge of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige.

Spiritualism

Arrogance, pride, anger, conceit, harshness, ignorance, jealousy, violence, envy, hatred, lust for material things, contempt for others, fear of goodness, godly people and devotion, vindictiveness, sadism, cruelty, attraction for evil deeds and evil people, an impure mind and body, intoxication, lack of pity for others, callousness, etc. are demonic qualities.

Divine qualities lead to liberation and demonic qualities lead to bondage.

That clearly shows that one has begun thinking out of this material body. And the best method to do so is to get one’s mind, intelligence and soul attached to god permanently.

As long as one is bound by the three modes of material nature, one cannot even dream of liberation. Only one who has completely surrendered to god can think of getting liberated from repeated births and deaths. The living entities in the material world are prone to making mistakes but those in the spiritual world do not commit even errors.
