Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 18 verse 25

 Chapter 18 verse 25               

“That action is declared to be in the mode of ignorance, which is begun out of delusion, without thought to one’s own ability, and disregarding consequences, loss, and injury to others.” 

Actions which have no connection to reality, started and undertaken with no regard to one’s health condition, financial condition and mental make-up or ability, which ignores the consequence and effect on others, is considered actions of ignorance. Bhagwan notes that such actions leads to decay of the person’s spiritual progress as well as the general decay of society itself. Metaphorically, it has been stated in the scriptures that such persons are relegated to the seven nether worlds. These worlds could be just construed as baser aspects of our mental state which doesn’t lend itself to a happy existence.
