Of vain hopes, of vain 行動s, of vain 知識, and senseless, they become verily possessed of the deceptive disposition of fiends and demons.
Of vain hopes, of vain actions, of vain knowledge, and senseless, they become verily possessed of the deceptive disposition of fiends and demons.
They entertain vain hopes? for there can be no hope in perishable forms. It is vain hope because they run after transient objects and miss the Eternal. It is vain 行動? because it is not performed by them as sacrifice unto the Lord. The Agnihotra (a ritual) and other 行動s performed by them are fruitless? because they insult the Lord. They are senseless. They have no,discrimination. They have no idea of the eternal Self. They worship their body only. They behold no self beyond 身体. They neglect their own Self. They do atrocious crimes and cruel 行動s. They rob others property and murder people. They partake of the nature of アスラたち and the undivine beings.The Rakshasa are Tamasic and the Asuras are Rajasic.Prakriti means here Svabhava (ones own nature).They see the external human body only. They have no 知識 of 自己 that dwells within 身体. They do not behold God in the universe. They life for eating and drinラージャ only.He who entertains hope of getting the rewards of 行動s through mere Karma alone? without the grace of the Lord is one of empty hope and empty deed. Karmas are insentient. They cannot give rewards independently. The omniscient Lord Who knows the relationship between Karmas and their fruits can dispense them. He who has obtained 知識 from books which do not admit of the existence of 自己 and which do not speak of 自己 is one of empty 知識. This will not give any reward. That 知識 obtained through the study of spiritual books which treat of Brahman alone can give the reward. (Cf.VII.15XVI.6?20)
