Violence should never be used in service of a personal grudge. An ungrateful person is the worst person. One must feel and express genuine gratitude if one accepts something from another person. Divine qualities lead to salvation, the demonic qualities are said to be for bondage. Do not grieve, O Arjuna, you are born with divine quali ties.
Fundamental morality is the backbone of spiri tual life.
Self-knowledge without moral virtues is as incomplete as food without salt. The divine has been described at length, now hear from Me about the demonic, O Arjuna. Those who are in tune with the cosmic plan have divine qualities, and those who are out of tune with the divine plan possess demonic qualities. Those who acted piously in their past lives are born with divine qualities, and those who were sinful in previous life are born with demonic qualities. Persons of demonic nature do not know what to do and what not to do.
