Chapter 16 verse 13-15
“The demonic person thinks, “I have gained so much wealth today, and I shall now fulfill this desire of mine. This is mine, and tomorrow I shall have even more. That enemy has been destroyed by me, and I shall destroy the others too! I am like God himself, I am the enjoyer, I am powerful, and I am happy. I am wealthy and I have highly placed relatives. Who else is equal to me? I shall perform sacrifices (to the celestial gods); I shall give alms; I shall rejoice.” In this way, they are deluded by ignorance.”
The ego in beings can destroy us. We forget that
there are several things which are outside our control for a particular event
or action to happen. Blinded by ego, the demonic person thinks they have
achieved everything they got through their own effort and the desire flow seems
endless. They associate their material success and acquisition falsely as
achieved by themselves without Divine help and hence even proclaim that they don’t
need God or any Divine help. All their actions are self serving including fire
sacrifices and donations meant to just please their ego. Even outwardly good
actions done with egoistic desires are not recommended and falls into the
demonic realm.
