Chapter 16 • Verse 7
प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः। न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते॥
pravṛittiṁ cha nivṛittiṁ cha janā na vidur āsurāḥ na śhauchaṁ nāpi chāchāro na satyaṁ teṣhu vidyate
Meaning
The demoniac do not know what to do and what not to do. Neither purity, nor right conduct, nor truth is found in them.
Demoniac people lack moral compass — they don't know right from wrong action. They have no inner or outer purity, no ethical conduct, no commitment to truth. This moral blindness defines the demoniac mindset.
Strength Reflection
"I maintain moral clarity, purity, ethical conduct, and commitment to truth."
Devotional Surrender
O Lord, let me always know right action and remain committed to truth.
