Whoever offends a great soul, a holy being, will suffer, and whoever blasphemes God will be severely punished.

The envious and the evil-doers, the lowest of mankind, I plunge into the ocean of material existence in various forms of demonic life. These, by being reborn life after life among the demonic species, can never approach Me. Little by little, they sink into the most abominable condition.

The mudhas (stupid and wicked people, devoid of true intelligence, and having no other purpose in existence than to gratify their senses), the villains, blaspheme the Supreme Lord because He appears in the guise of an ordinary man. They know nothing of His infinite greatness.

The Lord teaches us what true religious principles are.

Firm faith in the stories of my pastimes, constant chanting of my glories, unswerving adherence to ceremonial worship of my Person, praising me with beautiful hymns, having great respect for my devotional service, offering obeisances to me with the whole body, performing first-class worship by my faithful devotees, awareness of my Person realized by all living entities, offering ordinary bodily activities in my devotional service, using words to describe my qualities, offering one's being to me, rejection of all material desires, giving up wealth for my devotional service, renouncing material gratification and happiness, and performing all desirable activities such as charity, sacrifice, chanting, vows, and austerities for the purpose of attaining me—these are true religious principles by which human beings who have actually surrendered to me automatically develop out of love for me. What other goal or objective could remain for my devotee?

When one's consciousness is fixed on the material body, the house, and other similar objects of sense gratification, one spends one's life chasing material objects with the aid of the senses. Consciousness, thus powerfully affected by passion, devotes itself to impermanent things, and in this way irreligion, ignorance, attachment, and misery arise.

When one's peaceful consciousness, strengthened by virtue, is fixed on the Supreme Person, one attains spirituality, knowledge, detachment, and opulence.

The Lord reveals to us the nature of the demonic being, which we must all reject, for it leads to hell.

Arrogance, pride, arrogance, harshness, and ignorance are the hallmarks of those born of the demonic nature. Demonic beings are ignorant of what one should and should not do. They possess neither purity, nor righteous conduct, nor truthfulness.

They claim that this world is unreal and baseless, that no God governs it, that it results from sexual desire and has no other cause than lust. Based on such conclusions, the demonic beings, misguided and devoid of intelligence, engage in harmful and vile works aimed at destroying the world.

Demonic beings, who take refuge in self-conceit, pride, and insatiable lust, fall prey to delusion. Fascinated by the ephemeral, they devote their lives to unwholesome acts. To enjoy the senses until the last moment is, they believe, the greatest imperative of man. Thus, their anguish knows no end. Chained by hundreds, even thousands of desires, by lust and anger, they amass riches by illicit means, to satisfy the appetite of their senses.
