incur grievous sin, which destroys their real intelligence. And
this loss of intelligence turns them away from God and robs
them of their chance to surrender to Him. Thus, in Bhagavad-
gita (7.15), Supreme Lord says:

na mam duskrtino mudhah
prapadyante naradhamah
mayayapahrta-jnana
asuram bhavam asritah

“Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest
among mankind,
whose knowledge
is stolen by illusion,

and who partake of
the atheistic nature
of demons do not
surrender unto Me.”

There have always
existed two types

of men, devotee
and demon. Long
ago there lived a
big demon named

Ravana, who
disguised himself
as a sannyasi, a
renounced mendicant, and tried to steal wife of Supreme Lord,

Ramacandra. She was the goddess of fortune, Sita-devi. In
this way the demon brought about his own destruction.
