Ep. 142 - सरल भगवद् गीता अध्याय 16 ( दैवी तथा आसुरी स्वभाव) श्लोक 4,5 || Bhagavad Gita Simplified Chapter 16 (The Divine and Demoniac Natures) - Verses 4,5 || 27/10/2022

(Verse 4) Having supplied a long list of divine qualities, Now Shri Krishna begins listing the aasuri sampatti, the devilish qualities or demoniac natures. Asuras are portrayed as fearsome demons with long teeth and horns in comic books and TV shows. But the word asura means one who places a sense of enjoyment as his highest goal. Any ordinary-looking human being can be an asura if he constantly dwells in sense pleasures.  (Verse 5) Having described the two kinds of natures, Shri Krishna now connects this chapter with the aim of the Gita. He says that we can increase the chances of our success in the spiritual path if we cultivate the divine qualities listed in this chapter while toning down our devilish qualities.  The aim of any spiritual text including the Gita is to lead the seeker onto the path of liberation. - Send in a Voice Message - https://anchor.fm/spirituallearningpodcast/message
