Bg. 18.61 Bhagavad Gita .

īśvaraḥ sarva-bhūtānāṁ
hṛd-deśe ’rjuna tiṣṭhati
bhrāmayan sarva-bhūtāni
yantrārūḍhāni māyayā

Translation
The Supreme Lord is situated in everyone’s heart, O Arjuna, and is directing the wanderings of all living entities, who are seated as on a machine, made of the material energy.

Krishna has spoken clearly here  objective sciences and if we carefully examine objectively with the help of the best of the objective scientific community members it will be very clearly demonstrated how the machine like body assembles using codes and informational processes utalising dna and Rna molecules . Although those who are loyal to scientific materialism or Darwinian hypothesis can not accept these  logical observations or  understand the workings of the ethereal mind and intellect as a separate energy to matter , known as scientific dualism . Consciousness itself is the symptoms of the soul,  beyond mind and intelligence , these energies cover the soul . This is actually self-evident truth , we can see that matter is never conscious . There is ample  evidence in the world of an  intelligent design in nature , within a microbial world, or the colossal universe.  Clear evidence of precision engineering and perfection in engineering design can not be denied. Consciousness explorations and psychological sciences and the subtle sciences bring further evidence of how the machine of the body is carrying consciousness . Life comes from life .

The scientific community convinces itself , it is bringing education to mankind , but education means you know a topic , but guessing is not knowing . If you don’t know the topic , then admit it’s guessing .  In the case of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis, it’s , every bit of it , subjective guessing  and speculation .It is  not scientifically led objective observations that are being presented as fact based science , quite the opposite . That’s cheating science , if presented as fact based science.

What do they refer to as education ?
Basically,  accepting,  without any evidence, random mutations originating from the primordial soup , the common ancestor model , of microbes spilling out of chemicals and becoming Einsteins . Although they can not bind chemical combinations in synthetic chemistry very easily at all . In chemistry,  everything is ordered as much as the Dna coding or the atomic realms are ordered , i.e . according to the amount of protons in the atoms,  results in the specific elements manifested. In chemistry, binding chemicals together is very, very difficult. So, there is no chance of randomness. It involves rather,  precision chemistry . Molecules dont move towards life , they are not seen to mutate in purely unguided and random processes that somehow follow a  particular environment they mysteriously find  themselves in .Rather, when consciousness enters into matter, the informational processes begin .Life comes from life , and life carries information.  This life that is all around us , according to the Darwinian, is only random chemistry ,  random biology , randon neurons firings,  and random physics that holds everything together , where a  chance event in the universe produces , gravitational forces  and the precise mix of atoms and elements, with carbon as the predominant element , the element most needed for life to emerge. This is dream speculative guessing. Everything’s we see and experience in terms of living things , including plant life, is perfectly engineered and designed.  Logic and rationale are part of an education system,  with that in mind can we suppose one billion monkeys typing on one billion typewriters for one billion years could  produce a perfectly punctuated page of a Shakespeare script, including the spaces between the words.
The dna coding and the informational exchanges by mrna molecules are akin to highly sophisticated engineering technologies and are producing the protein like machines in the cells and specifically shaping them using those  codes  producing bodies in every species of life . Regarding common ancestry,  same engineer, different engineering is the Vedic truth . As much as the robotics assemble plant in any factory will , according to information of a computer chip , programmed by an intelligent source ,  assemble a specific part of a machine , that is what we objectively see in  world sciences.
Where there is smoke, you know there is fire , or it just been extinguished .Whenever you experience information and a sequence that is functional..
You naturally assume something….that a consciousness is at work .
What is the difficulty?
Micro evolution, meaning exchanges of dna within species and variations according to an environment, that’s acceptable and Vedic.
Macro evolution brings us back to the billion monkeys.
Of course, unfortunately, at schools and universities , scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis are taught as fact based science,  which is unfortunate.  Everyone should consider  dualism,  mind, matter, and consciousness as separated and entirely different energies.
We experience the adult body, and the childhood body has long gone , as your current body will change drastically and quickly. In a space of seven  years, a completely different body is built as all the cells change, you, the consciousness experience this , the body is not you ..

The natural vedic learning process..

If we conform to the good principles in life as taught by the good and pure over many many  generations , these  universal principles and easily recognisable , instinctively we come to understand this depth of knowledge of the consciousness. Irresistibly knowledge builds on the back of piety. In humble spirit, we will see the benefits of learning from others in every  walk of life . Because of previous practice of consciousness cultivation, many greater persons both in karmic , philosophical knowledge, or  pure devotional attitudes can help us along . This was the beauty of the original Varna Ashram systems , that peoples good fortune was recognised and shared  with others .This overarching principle of  Vedic life is a valuable asset for everyone to know .  This good fortune originates from the Vedic intelligensia, who are  pure in heart and mind and well studied in the Vedas in all its formats .

Georges Lemaitre thought the universe may have begun from a kind of ” primordial atom ” he impressed Einstein..
But …

Not from an atom per say….

….Although within the spiritual and material multidimensional universes the Vedas indicates , the complete origin of all things Divinity Himself is situated within every atom and at the same time outside of everything ,including the material universes. The supreme source of all that be is never under the control of laws of nature , He can act in any way He pleases .The prison governor is not under the laws the prisoners are subjected to . Physicists delve into the many unknowns , instant communications, and many possibilities are pondered by them .Prof Lisa Randall PhD studies multidimensional universes and dark matter and dark energies. Living in the world of dualism helps open the universal reality, and scientific materialism closes it in. The beginnings? The Vedas indicates ,the ” big bang ” is a personal energy source .  A rush of energy from another plane or dimension , with everything precisely designed and moving into extremely controlled environments.  For instance,  within each cell, there is extremely low entropy but with access to high and incalculably powerful energies. The universes are devolved energy and the devolved light waves that  bring electomagnetic energies from the sun have their origins in the Bramhajyoti light that surround the spiritual realms. These devolved energies are essential for the atomic and classical existence that we experience . It’s a fact that big bang means creation.
This is also the Vedic explanation , but the Vedas gets personal,  the chief engineer and his boss is described and the ethereal energies he uses to carve out the expansion of the universe.  The universes expand due to consciousness and the desires and activities of the individuals within the universe. Expansion always happens because of consciousness.

When the cyclic universe first manifests a different time period in place , laws of time and nature are fluctuating , it’s called Satya  Yuga . The living beings are highly elevated in their consciousness and spend their time in blissful states via yogic meditation while living extremely long lives .They can  travel out to the higher planets , where they may have originated from  , or they may traverse to parts of the spiritual world  called the Vaikuthas .

Certainly , those personalities  were living simply with  an absence of  factories or nine to five jobs along with huge  mortgages. They had much much greater things on their minds and in happy elevated and educated consciousness. Our ancestors are always  wrongly depicted  by the Darwinians as backwards, who lived in caves and had to discover fire , all nonsense. Nothing  could be further from the truth the Puranas tell us .

As time moves , Treta  yuga begins, it has a shorter life span experience , and the slight balance tips towards earthly living occur from the more   spiritual living  . Then, in time, a  further slip occurs  as the universe progresses into Dwarpa yuga, and yet more materialism occurs.  Then  further into  Kali yuga , where we currently are . A degraded age , with short life spans and disturbed minds . Currently ,we are losing touch with any of our consciousness capacities and thinking ourselves only made of  matter . Scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis rules .

Universes within the multidimensional regions are operating differently, and the time periods vary in each of them.

When you die , you can find yourself in Satya yuga in a different universe ..

The beauty of a properly understood Varna Ashram social and spiritual mobility system is that the most sensitive,  intelligent, and caring compassionate person leads  the way  for everyone and illuminates the whole of society.

The democratic systems are a system of the uneducated voting in the uneducated who then proceed to cancel out the beneficial intelligentsia. Currently, that is  where we stand today. Look at the world , it’s clear as day .

Isopanisad  Invocation

oṁ pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idaṁ
pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya
pūrṇam evāvaśiṣyate

Translation

The Personality of Godhead is perfect and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance

“A fundamental principle of magnetism: like poles repel (north repels north, south repels south) while unlike poles attract (north attracts south), driven by the energy in their invisible magnetic fields, a behavior similar to electric charges..”

We could say spiritual truths in the highest of calculation , a similar principle is lived out ..
Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu has revealed the deepest and inner meanings of the pinnacle of truths revealing the glory of Srimati Radharani,  but his other  revelations are significant , He is revealing the position of the individual particles of consciousness , and what their ultimate glory is .  They are , He reveals , inconceivably and simultaneously one and different from Divinity .
This means the individuals can express a oneness with God ,or a difference , being expansions of Him , as His  parts and parcels . Those living beings in liberated states who desire to become one with Him and lose their individuality are somewhat facilitated . The Vedas states however, that after a long time within the oneness of an impersonal spiritual light, the individual living being again returns to  the material atmosphere and worlds for want of relationships.
Why? , because ultimately, relationships bring pleasure,  and differences or the “unlikeness ” can attract . This is only ever played out in its fullness with Krishna.  Krishna is attracted to an individuals love , and Krishna is the most attractive of beings .  Divinity is revealed in His fullness only  within His differences , which are not revealed in oneness. Krishna has unlimited and ever increasing personal blissful qualities, and he likes to exchange love with His parts and parcels. We are inwardly searching for perfect loving loving  exchanges , but because of disappointments  in relationships some spiritual seekers turn to an impersonal side to Divinity, which is relatively peaceful  but has no variety of increasing Ananda or Rasa , a  sweetness of loving Rasa of an individual relationships. Ultimately, that is what the individual soul is deeply hankering for ..Differences create beauty even in this world , and in the spiritual varigatedness it is ever new and ever increasing in quality of spiritual consciousness, a soul on soul love . Atoms , elements, and compounds are absent, as is a material mind . In the topmost of spiritual planes, everything is harmonized in increasing bliss in relationships with even discord harmonized , and a oneness of merging one’s consciousness in impersonal realisations are shunned and repelled .

Clean the pathways.

In the Srimad Bhagavatam 10th Canto,  the autumn seasons and  the various changes that take place within Vrndavana are  described in very many wonderful and analogous ways that recount spiritual truths and material entanglements.

One such analogy is describing the pathways of Vrndavana that get washed over and covered in all kinds of twigs , branches ,stones, and mud .

The Vedic truths are very clear, but in the course of time, they become covered by speculations and interpretations, and original meanings become unclear , and  those travelling down the Vedic path can become lost .Richard Feynman has said even a man with pockets full of PHD’S can be  a “complete idiot ” what to speak of lesser degrees , the Vedic scholars are not idiots of course but they can loose their way due to speculative interpretation.

The seekers of truth must find a bone fide representative of the Srimad Bhagavatam, which is the summary of all the Vedas, and the natural commentary on the Bramha sutras . Such a person clears the path of all  mishaps and all of the debris of interpretations and speculations .They are easily swept out the way, as once again, crystal clear knowledge is revealed.

The bone fide spiritual master is a representation of Divinity Himself, and the truth he or she imparts opens up the sincere heart who is inquisitive to understand absolute truth . Krishna Himself  , within the  heart , reveals the crystal clear path and bestows buddhi yoga ,meaning trancendental intelligence . All materially conditioned notions are eradicated, and the destination can be arrived at .

The Vraja gopies know all the secret paths in Vrndavana that lead to the trysting grounds where Krishna enjoys unlimited trancendental bliss in their company

In Kali yuga, the current age of quarrel and hypocrisy, the great benedictions of Mahaprabhu are at play . He opens up the doors of the Bhajananandis, steals their nectar, and distributes it to one and all openly ,  even to those who are unqualified.
The path of deep Bhajan and preaching collide , and many rough diamonds became perfectly polished as the wisdom of Devi Varna Ashram and deep bhajan collide and  interact perfectly together. Thus, Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu in Navadwipa , South India, and importantly in Jagganath Puri .

The members of the Vedic societies should be very clear that when the Vedas or Bhagavatam refer to women as “less intelligent,” this term should not be misunderstood . As Srila BR Sridhar Swami says, women set the greatest example by their soft and submissive nature . Bold , puffed up and arrogantely situated menfolk are not so familiar with the spiritual consciousness connections of humility and surrender that are required for spiritual life . Ladies often by nature display this quality,  and Srimati Radharani, along with Her friends and associates, demonstrate how this consciousness towards the supreme Autocrat Krishna is  astounding even to God , and naturally He feels obliged to reciprocate with His heartfelt love . Ladies being simple hearted does not mean less intelligent,  its simply means them quite rightly being family oriented , kind and sensitive to family cultures such as child care and setting up a stable home life  and supporting the husband in many many ways . It has nothing to do with the workings of an intellect, which vary according to karma in both men and women. Naturally, ladies, in many cases, can become overly attached to a temporary family life and can find it more difficult to practice some elements of spiritual life , particularly intelligently situating themselves in detached consciousness. However, Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu Sankirtana movement brings ladies very quickly to the highest levels of consciousness as much as a man in the highest principles of buddhi yoga and can teach and preach just like a man .

“Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has said

• Material Intelligence: In his writings, such as Shri Chaitanya-shikshamrita, Bhaktivinoda Thakur often refers to the “delicate intelligence” (komala buddhi) and “delicate body” of women in a material context.
• Contextual Differences: This perspective is similar to that of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who taught that while women and men are equal on the spiritual platform, women are considered “less intelligent” in the context of being more emotionally driven and having a stronger attachment to the physical body and household affairs.
• There are many examples within the Vedas where theological texts are misunderstood. The smarta Brahminical classes very often read things wrong and present wrong conclusions. Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu in teaching the six Goswami’s of Vrndavana has represented the truth of the scriptures with the correct applications such as the truth of social and spiritual mobility when consciousness changes . Spiritual consciousness changes many things both Prarabdha and aprarabdha karma changes , we are not dead stones. Similarly many Smarta Brahminical classes read the scriptures wrong when it comes to ladies , who are just as intelligent as men in many cases , we have many PhD ladies or heads of global businesses. So we should bear in mind that becoming detached from the material world is sometimes easier for menfolk because the ladies’ natural soft heart can keep them in family affairs and homemaking . Although Srimati Radharani and Her friends and associates dropped everything and ran to Krishna. They are the greatest example and inspiration even to the most intelligent of spiritual men

Keep everything simple and localised all economics should be based on these principles, local , community based , regionally based , nationally based , centralised economics and world global economics bring unnecessary industrialisation and excessive energy usage , big men with excessive greed are the origins of unnecessary and increasing needs for energy supplies. Reshaping economics and reshaping peoples needs occurs naturally when dualism is properly reflected upon. There are the needs of the body and the needs of consciousness, the intelligentsia know how societies function best in healthy ways physically, mentally and philosophically leading to consciousness elevation and the obvious self evident truth of the equality of all beings leading to reforms in values. The power of horses, the power of bulls the power of waves and the power of the wind ,and the flowing rivers are ample suppliers of energies for local economies.
This will be a future .
This is Vedic Economics.

Bike lanes everywhere, why not ,  horse carriages reintroduced,  why not , bulls, and horses driving turbines for localised power can  be a  future , excessive and unnecessary greed driven economics leads to the world we see today , its being laid waste with wars , killing and exploitation . There is no fare trade , no sharing . It’s all for one  and none or little for all

Srila AC Bhavtivedanta Swami Prabhupada explains

“Srila Prabhupada advocated for a Vedic economic system based on agriculture, cow protection, and simple living, emphasizing that true prosperity comes from natural resources rather than heavy industrialization. He taught that wealth is defined by land and cows (dhanena dhanavān), advocating self-sufficient farm communities to eliminate artificial needs and social distress. 

Key aspects of Prabhupada’s view on Vedic economics include:

• Land and Cows: Prabhupada stated that the essentials of human society—grain and milk—come from agricultural land and cows, which are deemed the true capital, not industrial production.
• Critique of Industrialization: He argued that massive, artificial industrialization leads to suffering and unnecessary labor, recommending a rural-based, peaceful life instead.
• Spiritual Purpose: Unlike modern economics focused on sense gratification, Vedic economics is designed to provide for bodily necessities with minimum labor so time can be used for spiritual cultivation (tapasya).
• Simple Living: He promoted, “Plain living, high thinking,” advising against the creation of artificial demands that force people to work hard and waste their lives.
• Cooperation with Nature: Prabhupada taught that by following natural, divinely ordained methods (such as those practiced during the reign of Maharaja Yudhisthira), economic stability could be achieved without severe industrial exploitation. 

His teachings aimed to shift the focus from accumulating material wealth to fostering a “spiritual economy,” where all work is dedicated to the Supreme.

The main point of the appearance of Lord Nrsingadeva is that the Lord upholds the principles of transcendence, which includes all its cor and peripheral elements , Prahlada Maharaja’s teachings bring us the best of them . No matter how hard the demons try to destroy the good , and their lives are dedicated to destroying objective sciences and all principles of religion and to replace them with deceit and speculative fake sciences and political systems that favour self centred greed that destroy justice and teach duplicity.
However, because there are always divine thinkers within the world, Divinity upholds their wishes, and theologically driven cultures are always present and always will be . The Bhagavatam clearly states that sometimes the demons appear to dominate, but sometimes cats play with mice before disposing of them , everyone has to have their day .

The essence of the teaching process and methods of Gaudia Vaisnavism comes from Prahlada Maharaja’s teachings, the process of nine fold processes of bhakti .

Here are the nine processes of bhakti described by Prahlad:

1. Śravaṇam (Hearing): Hearing about the transcendental name, form, and pastimes of Lord Vishnu.
2. Kīrtanam (Chanting): Glorifying or chanting the holy name and pastimes of the Lord.
3. Smaraṇam (Remembering): Constantly remembering the Lord’s form, qualities, and activities.
4. Pāda-sevanam (Serving the Lotus Feet): Serving the lotus feet of the Lord (or the spiritual master/devotees).
5. Arcanam (Worship): Worshipping the deity of the Lord with devotion.
6. Vandanam (Praying): Offering prayers and respectful obeisances to the Lord.
7. Dāsyam (Servitude): Becoming a servant of the Lord and acting as a humble helper.
8. Sākhyam (Friendship): Cultivating a relationship of friendship with the Lord.
9. Ātma-nivedanam (Complete Surrender): Surrendering one’s body, mind, and soul completely to the Lord.
10. Narada Muni instructed Prahlada Maharaja from within the womb of his mother , the child in the womb can hear so many things , Narada Muni instructed Prahlada’s mother knowing that the great Devotee Prahlada was in her womb .
    One thing Narada said was just as gold can be sourced and extracted when knowledge of its whereabouts is known along with the extraction process, similarly one must as a devotee develop Jnana Sunya Bhakti leading to Buddhi yoga to extract oneself from the material modes of nature and understand the consciousness is the symptom of the soul and completely different then the material body , the gold like soul, the pure consciousness, needs to be extracted from the misunderstandings of being the body.

Spiritual life means soul on soul , the Supreme soul is welcoming His parts and parcels to His pure spiritual abode which is full of blissful emotions within an ever new spiritual varigatedness . Like green parrots flying into a green tree . The individual “puzzle pieces ” of the spirtitual personalities , accompanied by their inherant love and service attitudes for Radha Krishna , along with Their family and friends , all look different . Their feelings also slightly differ, but any discord is harmonized in the absolute as the exchanges of bliss take place . Each of their services and spiritual loving sentiments are accepted by the Divine couple through particular senior and expert friends who act as the facilitators, being most experienced and devoted to satisfying the emaculate senses of the Divine couple .
The world of relative dualism is left far behind, and the full “pranaya ” of inconceivable and simultaneously one and difference is relished in the trancendental blissful services of the individuals offerings to Radha Krishna.

If one listens to Pralada Maharaja’s teachings to his class mates , one should draw certain conclusions and come to understand that Pralada is giving the overall picture of material life with its many almost forced engagements within the material world . This all  begins at childhood , but childhood is also a continuance from a previous life and immense previous entanglements and obligations. The teachings of Pralada are, of course, meant for everyone , but Pralada is encouraging everyone at sn early stage of life to make a head start in developing a wisdom that runs deep .What you learn as a child remains deep within the psychic. Practical applications to such teachings are within the Bhagavad Gita and the Puranas and the Srimad Bhagavatam .Through Karma yoga , jnana yoga , a devotional astanga yoga , when Bhakti to Krishna is added , is the way Krishna outlined in Bhagavad Gita to pure Bhakti yoga , with the absence of karma or jnana is achieved . Gradually or more quickly , according to previous lives and sukriti , one extracts oneself from the illusory energies , As said before , there is not only one path , yoga consists of Karma yoga, niskama karma yoga, jnana yoga , featuring jnana sunya bhakti ,and astanga yoga. Bhakti , or pure loving sentiments that are  learned from pure devotees , when added in any degree, moves one along these paths at a steady pace .  In some cases, immediately one can take up high levels of Bhakti , but not every one is able to , karmic synchronicities run deep .
Thus , common sense and a  devotional understanding , minus fanaticism , is required when hearing Pralada Maharaja’s teachings. The fanatical might force a child to be in some kind of renounced state ….that’s not the purpose of Pralada Maharaja’s teachings.

Getting the balance and applications of spiritual and material life is important in everyone’s life and especially in children’s lives , sensitivity , intelligence and common sense is needed along with the help of the genuine intelligentsia whose characteristics are sublime.

Whenever we see people applying themselves to any spiritual path, we should think how wonderful it is . However, if we think our path is the one and only religion or way to God , we miss the whole point of Divinity,  who clearly lays everything out .

In the Epstein world of spy’s, compromised situations , and blackmail , one assumes a world of forced cooperations , but along with huge monetary rewards , and also  access to insider information of everykind accross all kinds of financial markets.
I guess the movie will come out soon .
The world of corruption after corruptions and compromise plus blackmail..

The demons world ..

What does Lord Krishna say about the nature of demons ?

Let’s see ..

Chapter 16, Verse 6

O son of Prtha, in this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine and the other demonic. I have already explained to you at length the divine qualities. Now hear from Me of the demoniac.

Chapter 16, Verse 7

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.

Chapter 16, Verse 8

They say that this world is unreal, that there is no foundation and that there is no God in control. It is produced of sex desire, and has no cause other than lust.

Chapter 16, Verse 9

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.

Chapter 16, Verse 10

The demoniac, taking shelter of insatiable lust, pride and false prestige, and being thus illusioned, are always sworn to unclean work, attracted by the impermanent.

Chapter 16, Verse 11-12

They believe that to gratify the senses unto the end of life is the prime necessity of human civilization. Thus there is no end to their anxiety. Being bound by hundreds and thousands of desires, by lust and anger, they secure money by illegal means for sense gratification.

Chapter 16, Verse 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 enemy 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.

Chapter 16, Verse 16

Thus perplexed by various anxieties and bound by a network of illusions, one becomes too strongly attached to sense enjoyment and falls down into hell.

Chapter 16, Verse 17

Self-complacent and always impudent, deluded by wealth and false prestige, they sometimes perform sacrifices in name only without following any rules or regulations.

Chapter 16, Verse 18

Bewildered by false ego, strength, pride, lust and anger, the demon becomes envious of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is situated in his own body and in the bodies of others, and blasphemes against the real religion.

Chapter 16, Verse 19

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

Chapter 16, Verse 20

Attaining repeated birth amongst the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.

Chapter 16, Verse 21

There are three gates leading to this hell-lust, anger, and greed. Every sane man should give these up, for they lead to the degradation of the soul.

Chapter 16, Verse 22

⁹The man who has escaped these three gates of hell, O son of Kunti, performs acts conducive to self-realization and thus gradually attains the supreme destination.

Our responsibility is to know and identify certain behaviours and to protect ourselves and communities, and stand up for justice and spiritual enlightenment based on morality, honesty, and respect for all beings.
