Bhagavad-Gétä AS IT IS 16.10: Taking shelter of insatiable lust and absorbed in the conceit of pride and false prestige, the demoniac, thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.The demoniac mentality is described here. The demons have no satiation for their lust. They will go on increasing and increasing their insatiable desires for material enjoyment. Although they are always full of anxieties on account of accepting nonpermanent things, they still continue to engage in such activities out of illusion. They have no perfect knowledge of GOD.The result of this is that they become more and more attracted to two things—sex enjoyment and accumulation of material wealth.The word asuci-vratäh, "unclean vows," is very significant in this connection. Such demoniac people are only attracted by wine, women, gambling and meat-eating; those are their asuci, unclean habits.Induced by pride and false prestige, they create some principles which are not approved by the Vedic injunctions. Although such demoniac people are most abominable in the world, by artificial means the world creates a false honor for them. Although they are gliding toward hell, they consider themselves very much advanced."Bhagavad-Gita As It Is" by His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
