The Yoga of Royal Knowledge and Royal Secret

Krishna describes those who take the wrong path: 'Moghāśā mogha-karmāṇo mogha-jñānā vicetasaḥ'—those with vain hopes (moghāśāḥ), futile actions (mogha-karmāṇaḥ), and deluded knowledge (mogha-jñānāḥ), possessing unwise minds (vicetasaḥ). 'Rākṣasīm āsurīṁ caiva prakṛtiṁ mohinīṁ śritāḥ'—they take refuge (śritāḥ) in the deluding (mohinīm) material nature (prakṛtim) of demons (rākṣasīm) and atheists (āsurīm). This is the path of those who disregard the Supreme: vain hopes, futile actions, deluded knowledge. They take refuge in demonic nature—the nature that deludes and binds. This is the opposite of devotion: instead of taking refuge in the Supreme, they take refuge in delusion. This is why they remain bound—they're taking the wrong refuge.
