Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
'वह शत्रु मेरे द्वारा मारा गया और दूसरों को भी मारूँगा। मैं ईश्वर हूँ, मैं भोगी हूँ, मैं सिद्ध हूँ, मैं बलवान् और सुखी हूँ' — ऐसा वे मानते हैं।
English Translation
'That enemy has been slain by me, and I shall slay others too. I am the lord, I am the enjoyer, I am perfect, powerful, and happy' — thus they think.
Commentary (टीका)
The demoniac ego reaches its peak with delusions of being God-like — lord, enjoyer, and conqueror. This extreme self-glorification is the opposite of spiritual humility. Such individuals see others as obstacles to destroy rather than fellow souls to respect.
