Deemonlike omadustega inimesed ei tea, mida teha ja mida mitte. Nendes ei leidu ei puhtust, õiget käitumist ega tõearmastust.

Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth is found in them.

Igas tsiviliseeritud ühiskonnas kehtivad teatud pühakirjade põhjal kehtestatud reeglid, mida on järgitud juba aegade algusest peale. Eriti aarialaste hulgas, s.t. nende hulgas, kes võtavad omaks vedaliku tsivilisatsiooni ning keda tuntakse kui kõige kõrgemalt arenenud tsiviliseeritud inimesi, peetakse pühakirjades antud ettekirjutuste järgimisest loobujaid deemoniteks. Seepärast öeldakse siin, et deemonid ei tunne pühakirjade seadusi ega oma ka kalduvust neid järgida. Enamik neist ei teagi neid seadusi, kuid isegi need, kes neid seadusi teavad, ei soovi neid järgida. Neil puudub usk ning nad ei oma soovi toimida vedalike juhenduste kohaselt. Deemonid pole ka kunagi puhtad, ei väliselt ega sisemiselt. Inimene peaks oma keha puhtuse eest alati hoolt kandma, pestes ennast, pestes hambaid, ajades habet, vahetades riideid jne. Mis puutub aga sisemisse puhtusse, siis peaks inimene alati meeles pidama Jumala pühasid nimesid ja kordama Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. Deemonitele need välise ja sisemise puhtuse hoidmise reeglid ei meeldi ning nad ei järgi neid.

In every civilized human society there is some set of scriptural rules and regulations which is followed from the beginning. Especially among the Āryans, those who adopt the Vedic civilization and who are known as the most advanced civilized peoples, those who do not follow the scriptural injunctions are supposed to be demons. Therefore it is stated here that the demons do not know the scriptural rules, nor do they have any inclination to follow them. Most of them do not know them, and even if some of them know, they have not the tendency to follow them. They have no faith, nor are they willing to act in terms of the Vedic injunctions. The demons are not clean, either externally or internally. One should always be careful to keep his body clean by bathing, brushing teeth, shaving, changing clothes, etc. As far as internal cleanliness is concerned, one should always remember the holy names of God and chant Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. The demons neither like nor follow all these rules for external and internal cleanliness.

Mis puutub käitumisse, siis inimese käitumise jaoks on palju reegleid, näiteks need, mis on kirja pandud näiteks „Manu-saṁhitās", inimkonna seaduste raamatus. Isegi tänapäeval järgivad hindud „Manu-saṁhitā" ettekirjutusi. Sellest raamatust on tuletatud ka pärimisseadus ja mitmed teised seadused. „Manu-saṁhitās" öeldakse selgelt, et naisele ei tohi vabadust anda. See ei tähenda, et naisi tuleb orja staatuses hoida, kuid neid tuleb kohelda kui lapsi. Lastele ei anta vabadust teha, mida nad tahavad, kuid see ei tähenda, et nad elaksid nagu orjad. Deemonid on sellised juhendused unustanud ning arvavad, et naised peaksid omama samavõrd vabadust kui mehed. Ometigi pole see aga maailma ühiskondlikku olukorda parandanud. Tegelikult tuleb naisi igal elu sammul kaitsta. Lapseeas peab teda kaitsma tema isa, nooruses abikaasa ning vanaduses tema täiskasvanud pojad. Selline on „Manu-saṁhitā" kohaselt õige ühiskondlik etikett. Kaasaja haridussüsteemis on aga välja mõeldud ülespuhutud teooria naiste vabadusest ning seepärast on abielu praktiliselt kaotanud oma tähenduse. Samuti pole naiste moraalsed väärtused tänapäeval kuigi kõrged. Deemonid ei tunnista mingeid ühsikonnale kasutoovaid ettekirjutusi ning kuna nad ei järgi suurte tarkade kogemust ega ka nende poolt kehtestatud reegleid on deemonlike inimeste ühiskondlik olukord on äärmiselt haletsusväärne.

As for behavior, there are many rules and regulations guiding human behavior, such as the Manu-saṁhitā, which is the law of the human race. Even up to today, those who are Hindu follow the Manu-saṁhitā. Laws of inheritance and other legalities are derived from this book. Now, in the Manu-saṁhitā it is clearly stated that a woman should not be given freedom. That does not mean that women are to be kept as slaves, but they are like children. Children are not given freedom, but that does not mean that they are kept as slaves. The demons have now neglected such injunctions, and they think that women should be given as much freedom as men. However, this has not improved the social condition of the world. Actually, a woman should be given protection at every stage of life. She should be given protection by the father in her younger days, by the husband in her youth, and by the grownup sons in her old age. This is proper social behavior according to the Manu-saṁhitā. But modern education has artificially devised a puffed-up concept of womanly life, and therefore marriage is practically now an imagination in human society. The social condition of women is thus not very good now, although those who are married are in a better condition than those who are proclaiming their so-called freedom. The demons, therefore, do not accept any instruction which is good for society, and because they do not follow the experience of great sages and the rules and regulations laid down by the sages, the social condition of the demoniac people is very miserable.
