They say that the world is unreal, has no order or foundation (like morality or ethics). There is no God to control. It is just born of union; what else than passion can be the cause of it?
Chapter 16: Daivāsura-sampad-vibhāga-yoga: – Divine and Demonic Characteristics - Verse 8
Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha
Disregard towards truth, morality, ethics and propriety rule their thought, speech and action. They think: “There is none like God to create or to maintain order and justice. To indulge in any religious or spiritual thinking is a sheer waste of time. No intelligent person should take to it.
“Birth of any kind is governed by the process of union between two factors having a propensity to unite. Their union is very natural, an act of passion. No special regard or morality is behind it.
“Passion is part of life, which has its sway in beings. Like hunger and thirst, it manifests in beings. No serious enquiry about it is called for. To indulge in undue probing in the matter is unnecessary and to be avoided.”
This is how they think, speak and propagate. And they delight in their pet notions heartily.
