Thinking themselves all in all, not caring for any authority or scripture, the demoniac sometimes perform so-called religious or sacrificial rites. And since they do not believe in authority, they are very impudent. This is due to illusion caused by accumulating some wealth and false prestige. Sometimes such demons take up the role of preacher, mislead the people, and become known as religious reformers or as incarnations of God. They make a show of performing sacrifices, or they worship the demigods, or manufacture their own God. Common men advertise them as God and worship them, and by the foolish they are considered advanced in the principles of religion, or in the principles of spiritual knowledge. They take the dress of the renounced order of life and engage in all nonsense in that dress. Actually there are so many restrictions for one who has renounced this world. The demons, however, do not care for such restrictions. They think that whatever path one can create is one’s own path; there is no such thing as a standard path one has to follow. The word avidhi-pūrvakam, meaning a disregard for the rules and regulations, is especially stressed here. These things are always due to ignorance and illusion.
SMISAO: Smatrajući sebe središtem svijeta, ne mareći ni za kakav autoritet ili spis, demonski ljudi ponekad izvode takozvane religijske ili žrtvene obrede. Budući da ne vjeruju u autoritet, vrlo su drski. To je posljedica iluzije, uzrokovane stjecanjem bogatstva i lažnim ugledom. Katkada takvi demoni preuzimaju ulogu propovjednika, zavode ljude i postaju poznati kao reformatori religije ili inkarnacije Boga. Prave predstavu od vršenja žrtvovanja, obožavaju polubogove ili stvaraju vlastitog Boga. Obični ih ljudi proglašavaju Bogom i obožavaju, a budalasti ih ljudi smatraju naprednim sljedbenicima načela religije i poznavateljima duhovnog znanja. Oblače odjeću sannyāsīja i u njoj čine svakojake gluposti. Ustvari, za onoga tko se odrekao ovoga svijeta postoji toliko mnogo ograničenja. Međutim, demoni ne mare za takva ograničenja. Misle da svatko može naći svoj vlastiti put i da ne postoji standardni put koji moraju slijediti. Ovdje je posebno naglašena riječ avidhi-pūrvakam, koja se odnosi na zanemarivanje pravila i propisa. Takvo je ponašanje posljedica neznanja i iluzije.
