Uitleg

Krishna describes the state of those who disregard him. Their hopes, actions and knowledge are all vain, and they lack discernment. They cling to a nature that is deluding, described as rākṣasī and āsurī, fiendish and demonic. These terms describe dispositions of cruelty, arrogance and self-will rather than kinds of being. The verse shows how failure to recognize the divine affects every part of life, emptying effort and understanding of lasting meaning. It contrasts with the great souls described next.
