Krishna : Divine characteristics are Fearlessness, pure minded, persistence for wisdom, performing donations, self consciousness, yagna, understanding scriptures, penance, non violence, truthfulness, absence of anger, sacrificing, peace, not trying to malign others, kindness towards all living beings, not obsessed with worldly things, soft nature, shyness, stable, forgiveness, stubbornness, being good, never betray and not having proudness. Demon characteristics are proudness, conceit, anger, narrowmindedness, and stupidity. While divine characteristics lead to salvation, demon characteristics tie a person to the rebirth cycle. All living things either have divine characteristics or demonic characteristics. I have described divine characteristics till now. I will now describe the demonic characteristics.  The one with demon characteristics doesn’t have a sense of what is good or what is bad, they don’t have tidiness, they don’t have ethics and they don’t even have truthfulness.

For much of the human history, Asian countries like India and China together accounted for over 50% of worlds GDP. In particular India with its fertile lands is seen as land of riches. But, how come such a rich country is enslaved by Europeans, which fall behind India in every indicator till 1700. In this article I want to share my views based on what I read and understood.

Krishna : Arjuna, this world is like a peepal tree. Its roots are based on Brahman. All the living organisms form branches to this tree. The Karma performed by living becomes its leaves. Only with detachment, one can understand this and cut through this tree. Then, seek refuge with the Brahman to overcome the birth rebirth cycle. I am the life force with six senses(five senses and mind) in this world. This life force when entering and leaving the body carries these six senses with it. These senses let a human experience the world.
