The Yoga of the Division between the Divine and the Non-Divine

Krishna describes how demonic nature manifests in action: 'āśā-pāśa-śatair baddhāḥ'—bound by hundreds of ties of desire. Every desire is a noose, a bond. The more desires you have, the more bound you become. 'Kāma-krodha-parāyaṇāḥ'—devoted to desire and anger. These two work together: desire creates frustration, frustration creates anger, anger creates more desire. 'Īhante kāma-bhogārtham'—they strive for the purpose of desire gratification, 'anyāyenārtha-sañcayān'—by unjust means they accumulate wealth. This is the natural outcome: when you're bound by desires and driven by anger, you'll do anything to fulfill them—including unjust means. You'll lie, cheat, steal, harm others—anything to get what you want. The ends justify the means because there's no higher principle, just desire gratification. This is how demonic nature acts: completely bound, completely driven, completely unethical.
