Krishna reaches the core of the demoniac disease. Taking deep shelter of false ego, brute strength, pride, lust, and anger (ahaṅkāraṁ balaṁ darpaṁ kāmaṁ krodhaṁ ca saṁśritāḥ), these individuals develop a profound, burning envy. Who are they envious of? They are envious of the Supreme Lord Himself, who is quietly sitting within their own bodies and in the bodies of everyone else (mām ātma-para-deheṣu pradviṣanto). Driven by this envy, they constantly blaspheme (abhyasūyakāḥ) true religion and absolute truth.
