Bhagavad-Gītā 15.10-11
"The foolish cannot understand how a living entity can quit his body, nor can they understand what sort of body he enjoys under the spell of the modes of nature. But one whose eyes are trained in knowledge can see all this." "The endeavoring transcendentalists who are situated in self-realization can see all this clearly. But those whose minds are not developed and who are not situated in self-realization cannot see what is taking place, though they may try." https://vedy.online/en/bg/15/10/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/15/11/

"Besides these two, there is the greatest living personality, the Supreme Soul, the imperishable Lord Himself, who has entered the three worlds and is maintaining them." "Because I am transcendental, beyond both the fallible and the infallible, and because I am the greatest, I am celebrated both in the world and in the Vedas as that Supreme Person."

Bhagavad-Gītā 16.4 & 7-10
"Pride, arrogance, conceit, anger, harshness and ignorance – these qualities belong to those of demoniac nature, O son of Pṛthā." "Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them." "They say that this world is unreal, with no foundation, no God in control. They say it is produced of sex desire and has no cause other than lust." "Following such conclusions, the demoniac, who are lost to themselves and who have no intelligence, engage in unbeneficial, horrible works meant to destroy the world." "Taking shelter of insatiable lust and absorbed in the conceit of pride and false prestige, the demoniac, thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent." https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/4/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/7/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/8/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/9/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/10/

Bhagavad-Gītā 16.13-15
"The demoniac person thinks: “So much wealth do I have today, and I will gain more according to my schemes. So much is mine now, and it will increase in the future, more and more. He is my enemy, and I have killed him, and my other enemies will also be killed. I am the lord of everything. I am the enjoyer. I am perfect, powerful and happy. I am the richest man, surrounded by aristocratic relatives. There is none so powerful and happy as I am. I shall perform sacrifices, I shall give some charity, and thus I shall rejoice.” In this way, such persons are deluded by ignorance." Bhagavad-Gītā 16.13-15
Bhagavad-Gītā 16.16-18
"Thus perplexed by various anxieties and bound by a network of illusions, they become too strongly attached to sense enjoyment and fall down into hell."

"Bewildered by false ego, strength, pride, lust and anger, the demons become envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in their own bodies and in the bodies of others, and blaspheme against the real religion." https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/16/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/17/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/18/

"Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, I perpetually cast into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life."

Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence." https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/19/ & https://vedy.online/en/bg/16/20/
