प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः । न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते ॥ ७ ॥
pravṛittiṁ cha nivṛittiṁ cha janā na vidur āsurāḥ na śhauchaṁ nāpi chāchāro na satyaṁ teṣhu vidyate
Translation
People of demonic nature do not know what should be done and what should be avoided. Neither purity, nor good conduct, nor truth is found in them.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
आसुरी स्वभाव वाले लोग यह नहीं जानते कि क्या करना चाहिए और किससे बचना चाहिए। उनमें न शुद्धि होती है, न सदाचार, और न सत्य।
Commentary
The first mark of the demonic mind is moral confusion: not knowing pravritti (what to take up) and nivritti (what to turn away from). Without that compass, purity, good conduct and truthfulness have nothing to stand on.
