असत्यमप्रतिष्ठं ते जगदाहुरनीश्वरम् । अपरस्परसम्भूतं किमन्यत्कामहैतुकम् ॥ ८ ॥
asatyam apratiṣhṭhaṁ te jagad āhur anīśhvaram aparaspara-sambhūtaṁ kim anyat kāma-haitukam
Translation
They say the world is unreal, without foundation and without God, born of mutual union and nothing else, with desire as its only cause.
Hindi Meaning (हिंदी अर्थ)
वे कहते हैं कि यह जगत असत्य, आधार-रहित और ईश्वर-रहित है; यह केवल (स्त्री-पुरुष के) परस्पर संयोग से उत्पन्न है, और काम के सिवा इसका कोई कारण नहीं।
Commentary
Here Krishna describes the worldview that feeds demonic behaviour: a universe with no truth, no moral foundation and no God, in which the only purpose of life is desire. The point is not that asking questions is demonic, but that believing nothing matters beyond one's own pleasure leads to the conduct described next.
