The Bhagavad Gita by Eknath Easwaran

Two Paths ╯
6
Some people have divine tendencies, others
demonic. I have described the divine at length,
Arjuna; now listen while I describe the demonic.
7
The demonic do things they should avoid and
avoid the things they should do. They have
no sense of uprightness, purity, or truth.
8
“There is no God,” they say, “no truth, no spiritual
law, no moral order. The basis of life is sex; what else
can it be?” 9 Holding such distorted views, possessing
scant discrimination, they become enemies of
the world, causing suffering and destruction.
10
Hypocritical, proud, and arrogant, living in
delusion and clinging to deluded ideas, insatiable
in their desires, they pursue their unclean ends.
11
Although burdened with fears that end only with
death, they still maintain with complete assurance,
“Gratification of lust is the highest that life can offer.”
12
Bound on all sides by scheming and anxiety, driven
by anger and greed, they amass by any means they can
a hoard of money for the satisfaction of their cravings.
