📜 Translation
English
By resorting to insatiable desires, full of hypocrisy, pride and arrogance, holding false views due to ignorance, they act in world holding impure resolves.
Everything is just the opposite to what is right! The entire attention is immersed in the world! In such a situation it is natural for desires to prevail. The normal desires take hold of the life in rajasic nature; but here the state is altogether different. Desires in any case are not fulfilled by their very nature. One after the other and then cycle of more...more...more...keeps on continuing! But where the demoniac nature is particularly dominant there deliberately such desires are entertained, which are not possible to be fulfilled in an easy or straight manner. Such desires which are difficult to accomplish are entertained and then one resorts to hypocrisy, pride and arrogance for their accomplishment. To portray what one is not, to display one's superiority and esteem so that one's desired ends may be met in whatever way possible, if some ability or competence exists to flaunt it with arrogance! Overwhelmed by ignorance to keep maintaining false, imaginary rules and regulations! Not accepting the true stand or principle of anyone else but to keep on adamantly holding on to one's own false and untruthful notions, for the fulfilment of one's desire to remain immersed in corruption and to even encourage the same-such a cautioning verse of the Gita and such growing states in the present day society...without doubt there is a strong need for thoughtful analysis!
