Lord Krishna describes the characteristics and mindset of those who are spiritually deluded. He refers to them as “moghāśhā” (those with deluded minds) and highlights their engagement in futile actions and possession of misguided knowledge.
“Mogha-karmāṇo” refers to engaging in actions that are devoid of spiritual wisdom and lack higher purpose or significance. These individuals perform actions driven by ignorance, attachment, and selfish desires, which do not lead to spiritual growth or enlightenment.
“Mogha-jñānā” signifies having misguided knowledge or a distorted understanding of spiritual truths. It implies being influenced by false ideologies, misconceptions, or limited perspectives that hinder one’s spiritual progress.
Due to their delusion and lack of spiritual discernment, such individuals become inclined toward the demonic (“raakshasi” and “asuric”) nature. This evil nature represents qualities such as anger, greed, arrogance, envy, and deceit. It symbolizes being driven by selfish motives and negative tendencies, leading to harmful actions and negative consequences.
Lord Krishna uses the term “mohini” to describe this nature, as it bewilders and deludes individuals, trapping them in a cycle of ignorance, suffering, and spiritual bondage.
This verse serves as a warning against the dangers of ignorance, misguided actions, and distorted knowledge. It highlights the need to cultivate spiritual wisdom, discernment, and a higher understanding of one’s true nature and purpose. By transcending the delusions of the mind and turning away from the demonic tendencies, individuals can progress on the path of spiritual growth and attain liberation.
