Tracing the line of fall of an Asura type of man, Krishna says that an individual having repeatedly reached, as a result of his previous life, the same Asuric environment, life after life, fails to realise the Infinite joys of the Self. They never climb the heights of cultural beauty but slowly sink lower and lower to reach the bottom grades of beings.

So far we had a vivid review of two types of men: the ‘DIVINELY GOOD’ and the ‘DIABOLICALLY FALLEN.’ A majority of us, in varying degrees, belong to the latter class.

None is eternally condemned, nor does anyone deserve a perpetual hell — such a view is illogical, unphilosophic, and stupid.

The triplet-under which are comprehended all the different demoniacal qualities though they are infinite in number, (and) by the avoidance of which (three) they (all the demaniacal qualities) become rejected, and which is the root of all evils- is being stated:
