Bhagavad Gita Chapter 16 Verse 4

Important: From Gita Chapter 16 Verse 4 to 20, there is description of the characteristics of those people who did not do scripture-based wroship even in their previous human births. Then, after going in the births of various other life forms and hell etc and after enjoying the transitory happiness in heaven etc, when they again acquire a human body, then also, out of their nature, they remain firm in the same kind of sadhna (religious practices) and vices.

अज्ञानम्, च, अभिजातस्य, पार्थ, सम्पदम्, आसुरीम्,।।4।।
