Daivāsura Sampad Vibhāga Yoga
The Yoga of the Divine and Demoniac Natures
Krishna describes two fundamental orientations of the human being: the divine nature (fearlessness, purity, compassion, truth) and the demoniac nature (pride, arrogance, cruelty, delusion). The threefold gate of hell is named — lust, anger, and greed — and the one who abandons it moves toward the highest goal. Scripture is offered as the guide for those who cannot yet trust their own discernment.
