Demonic qualities that lead to bondage
📜Understanding Asuri Sampat
Asuri Sampat means "demonic wealth" or "demonic qualities." Chapter 16 of the Bhagavad Gita contrasts the divine nature with six primary qualities that characterize the asuric (demonic) nature: hypocrisy (dambha), arrogance (darpa), excessive pride (abhimana), anger (krodha), harshness (parushya), and ignorance (ajnana).
