Chapter 16 • Verse 14
असौ मया हतः शत्रुर्हनिष्ये चापरानपि। ईश्वरोऽहमहं भोगी सिद्धोऽहं बलवान्सुखी॥
asau mayā hataḥ śhatrur haniṣhye chāparān api īśhvaro 'ham ahaṁ bhogī siddho 'haṁ balavān sukhī
Meaning
'That enemy has been slain by me, and I shall slay others too. I am the lord, I am the enjoyer, I am successful, powerful, and happy...'
More demoniac thinking: 'I destroyed my enemy, I'll destroy more; I am God/lord of my realm, I am the supreme enjoyer, I am accomplished, powerful, and happy.' This is extreme ego — seeing oneself as god.
Strength Reflection
"I am not the lord; God is. I am not the supreme enjoyer or controller."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, You are the true Lord and Enjoyer. I am Your humble servant.
