Book excerpt: Lord Krishna explains to Arjuna the characteristics of humans who possess divine wealth and those who possess demonic wealth. These characteristics serve as a means for self-evaluation and self-improvement. According to Lord Krishna, those who possess divine wealth exhibit qualities such as compassion, forgiveness, truthfulness, purity, self-control, and non-violence. They are devoted to God and are always engaged in doing good for others without expecting anything in return. They are humble, wise, and have steady minds. They do not let their ego control their actions and are not swayed by desires or attachments. On the other hand, those who possess demonic wealth exhibit qualities such as arrogance, pride, anger, envy, lust, and greed. They are deluded, dishonest, and always engage in activities that harm others. They are driven by their ego and desires and are never satisfied with what they have. They have no regard for the laws of God or the welfare of others and are always looking to fulfil their selfish interests. By understanding these characteristics, one can evaluate oneself and work towards developing divine qualities while shedding the demonic ones. Lord Krishna emphasizes that anyone can change their nature and become divine by engaging in self-discipline, meditation, and devotion to God.
