THE ENTIRE WORLD IS UNREAL


"6. Two types of creatures come into existence in this world: the divine and the demonical. I have elaborated upon the divine at lenght, now hear Me describe the Demonical, O Partha.

7. Neither engagement in woedly action nor withdrawal from it is understood by the demoniacal. Neither purity, nor good behaviour or truth is present in them.

8. They say that the entire world is unreal, without foundation, without a Supreme Lord, created without a casual link - in short, that sensual enjoyment is it only raison d'être."
The Bhagavadgita, C. 16, trad. Vrinda Nabar & Shanta Tumkur, London: Wordsworth Editions, 1997, pp. 67-68.
