Chapter 7 verse 15
“The evil-doers, the deluded, the lowest of men do not seek Me, they, whose discrimination has been destroyed by their own delusions, follow the ways of the demons.”
Even though all beings are His creation, they have been left alone to go through this cycle of life and birth within the construct of laws of karma and prakriti. It might take a billion lives to graduate to enlightenment from this cycle and the Lord will not interfere with this process. With firm detachment, Krishna describes the people who are further away from the path of enlightenment and surrender. There are not sinners in Santana dharma and doomed in hell eternally- they have just lost their way and being misled by the veil of maya and will take a much longer time to overcome the delusion and develop the discrimination between the real and the unreal. Krishna is pointing to 4 kinds of people. 1. Those who are plain ignorant. They have no idea of the existence of God and completely deluded. 2. Lazy people following their lower nature-They are aware of existence of God but are completely overcome by laziness and don’t act. 3. Those with deluded intellect- They are not patient to experience the existence of God in their lives and dismiss meaning of life just with their current frame of reference and experience. 4. People with demonic qualities- These people are pure evil and exist to be malicious toward all things Godly!
