मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतसः ।राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिताः ॥
moghāśā moghakarmāṇo moghajñānā vicetasaḥrākṣasīmāsurīṃ caiva prakṛtiṃ mohinīṃ śritāḥ
All their hope, action, knowledge are vain things (when judged by the Divine eternal standard); they dwell in the Rakshasic and Asuric nature which deludes the will and the intelligence.
Gītā 9·12They become a prey to the nature of the Rakshasa in man who sacrifices everything to a violent and inordinate satisfaction of his separate vital ego and makes that the dark godhead of his will and thought and action and enjoyment. Or they are hurried onward in a fruitless cycle by the arrogant self-will, self-sufficient thought, self-regarding act, self-satisfied and yet ever unsatisfied intellectualised appetite of enjoyment of the Asuric nature.
