Hindi Translation (हिन्दी अर्थ)
अहंकार, बल, दर्प, काम और क्रोध का आश्रय लेकर, ये दूषण लगाने वाले अपने और दूसरों के शरीर में स्थित मुझ परमात्मा से द्वेष करते हैं।
English Translation
Taking refuge in egotism, force, arrogance, desire, and anger, these malicious people hate Me who dwells in their own bodies and in the bodies of others.
Commentary (टीका)
The gravest consequence of demoniac nature is hatred toward the Divine who resides in all beings. By hating others, they unknowingly hate God who dwells within everyone. This represents the deepest level of spiritual degradation — rejecting the very source of existence.
