Guest guest Report post Posted August 21, 2005 It is written in the Gita that demons always are busy with killing the supersoul from within. Now how is this when the supersoul can not be killed by either weapon water fire and so? I think you are referring to chapter 17 verse 6 of Bhagavad Gita. The word is Karshayantah which means "doing something against Vedic teachings" or "possessing base characteristics" and hence stated as tormenting oneself in the body as well as Supersoul. It does not tell that superoul itself is tormented physically or any other way. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the demons makes people do stupid things and then, as guilt sets in (due to sins), they torment the person even further. WHY? Because guilt person with tormented soul will keep thinking about his/her actions and will forget about God. Some even become Atheists who dares to hold God as responsible for his/her actions or incapability to do something. Guilty person with good consciousness - tormented by reviewing the past and thus dwell in the past. People who dwell in past mistakes will not think of future. Bad person with guilty consciousness - tormented by self-denial (of the crime by some sort of logic or even goes to extend of saying God don't exists). Confused person with guilty consciousness - tormented by the need to unburden him/herself somewhere but do not know where. This brings them toward wrong path in spiritualism and end up following bad teachings. But because of his/her own guilt (which he/she thinks had been erased), he or she continued to believe in such teachings despite of having doubts. The soul cannot be born (created) or destroyed by any means, other than by hands of God. But it can be tormented so people will forget God. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
