The egotism and delusion in these wicked people can cause any extent of havoc. Their assertion and resolve can spell incredible danger, says Krishna.

The demonic people delight in speaking: “This is the enemy I have slain ruthlessly; others too I shall kill next. I will do what I want. Who is there to stop me? I am irresistible. I can and will finish off whomever I want. I have already butchered many. I will continue to do so even more.

“Fools alone speak of a God as Supreme. In fact, I am the God, the controller. I have the freedom to enjoy and revel in anything I like. I am powerful. I am self-attained. I seek to rejoice in the way I want. The world is for people like me, to grab and enjoy.”

The human mind is notorious. It can goad one to any extent in any direction. Nature provides for such aberrations as well!
