Being fake, arrogant, and conceited, angry, harsh, and ignorant? Total demon mode, Partha.

Commentary

Bro, so like, hypocrisy? Total cringe. Pretending to be all pious and stuff, bragging about how great you are? Major yikes. Arrogance? Yeah, that's a vibe killer. Thinking you're all that because of your knowledge, money, or whatever? It's all about you, and you can't stand seeing others win. Harshness? Dude, speaking straight cap, like calling a blind person's eyes 'lotus-like' or saying an ugly person is hot? That's sus. Ignorance? It's not knowing your place, not knowing what's right or wrong. It's like a toddler putting anything in their mouth, no matter how dirty. These are all major red flags, like, total demon vibes. It's a total block on your path to enlightenment. Krishna's calling Arjuna 'Partha' because, like, Arjuna's totally not a demon. Asuras? They're the opposite of chill. No faith, always arguing, denying God, living for pleasure, stealing, killing, no chill about reincarnation. They're total chaos. It's like, even if you're a total academic rockstar, if you're a total jerk, you're still a demon. It's the internal battle between good and bad, like, the ultimate flex is to slay your inner demons.
