The Demonic Man, According to the Bhagavad Gita

The demonic man

It is interesting to note the description of the demonic man contained in the Bhagavad Gita. Although there is the natural mention of the malicious and cruel model, the emphasis is on the greedy, materialistic one, whose insatiable desire guides him in the incessant search for wealth and power. Having this, having that; success, ambition; pleasure in feeling powerful; infinite vanity… From all this, a lustful and arrogant worldview is extracted, which throws the being into competition with others, giving rise to envy and stinginess. A being that acts and spares no means to achieve what he wants: he subjugates the world to his personal project. Never parsimony, never frugality, never sincere compassion. Needless to conclude…
