The materialists, who have no idea of God, think they are moving forward. According to the Bhagavad-Gita, they are unintelligent and meaningless. They try to take advantage of this material world to the greatest limit and therefore always commit to inventing something for the satisfaction of meaning. Such materialistic inventions are considered the advancement of human civilization, but the result is that people are increasingly violent and cruel, cruel to animals and cruel to other human beings.
They have no idea how to behave towards each other. The slaughter of animals is very important among the demoniacs. These people are considered the enemies of the world because in the end they invent or create something that will bring destruction to all. Indirectly, this verse points to the invention of nuclear weapons. Of which the whole world is today very proud. At any time, war can take place, and these atomic weapons can wreak havoc.
Such things are created only for the destruction of the world, and this is indicated in Bhagavad-Gita.
Because of ungodliness, such weapons are invented in human society; they are not intended for the peace and prosperity of the world.
10. Taking refuge in insatiable lust, pride and false prestige and thus being deluded, the demoniacs always swear that by low, unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.
11. Their conviction is that; satisfying the senses to the end of life is the first necessity of human civilization. So, there is no measure for their anxiety.
Explanation: The demonic accepts that the enjoyment of the senses is the ultimate goal of life, and this concept that they maintain until death. They do not believe in life after death, and they do not believe that there are different categories of bodies, depending on their plans for life are never finished; they continue to prepare plan after plan, all of which never end. We have the personal experience of someone of such a demonic mentality, who, even at the time of death, asked the doctor to extend his life by another four years because his plans were not yet complete. These stupid people don’t know that a doctor can’t prolong life, even for a while. When the opinion is there, there is no consideration of man’s desire. The laws of nature do not even allow a second beyond what one is intended to profit. His karma, or activities in this world. Do not worry, O son of Pandu, for you were born with transcendental qualities.
12. Their plans being bound by hundreds and thousands of desires, by lust and anger, they obtain money by illegal means for the satisfaction of the senses.
The demonic person thinks, “So much wealth I have today, and I will earn more according to my plans. So many things belong to me now, and it will go up in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him, and my other enemy will also be killed. I am the Lord of everything, I am the greatest, I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic parents. There are none more powerful and happy than I am. I’ll make sacrifices.
I will give a little charity, and so I will rejoice. “In this way, these people are deceived by ignorance.”
16 Thus perplexed by various anxieties and lulled by a network of illusions, one becomes too strongly attached to the enjoyment of meaning and falls into hell.
Explanation: The demonic man has no limit to his desire to acquire money, For this reason he does not mind to act in a sinful manner, Thus he deals on the black market for illegal gratification, He is in love with the possessions he has already, like the land, the family, the house and the bank balance, and he always thinks about improving them. He believes in his own strength, and he doesn’t know that everything he earns is due to his good and well-done past.
He has the ability to accumulate such things, but he has no conception of past causes. He simply thinks that all his wealth is due to his own business.
