Chapter 16 verse 9
“Holding fast to such views, these misdirected souls, with small intellect and cruel actions, arise as enemies of the world threatening its destruction.”
When
I was reflecting on the demonic nature of beings, I was thinking of the
charvaka philosophy in sanatana dharma which rejects any form of knowledge
which is inferred. That philosophy
rejects the law of karma, reincarnation and God or creator and propagates
material pleasures as the only truth and death as the end of it all. In
sanatana dharma history, such beliefs have existed from time to time and
continue to be exhibited in society. However what has intrigued me is how
Supreme does not interfere in one’s free will until it affects His broader laws
of nature and then He resets world order in his own way through the multitude
of avataras. These demonic beings due to their narrow materialistic views of
the world order undertake cruel and adharmic actions and threaten world order
and possible self destruction. Bhagwan refers them to “Nashta Atma or
misdirected souls”. Nashta also means loss. It is indeed their loss but nothing
is lost beyond redemption for any soul in sanatana dharma. They will get back
on track in future lives which they don’t believe in themselves in this life!
