Commentary

Okay, so Krishna, after dropping some knowledge about faith, is like, 'Yo, the type of faith you got determines who or what you worship.' It's all about vibes, fam. Like, if your faith is all chill and pure (Sattvic), you're worshipping the gods. If you're all about passion and drama (Rajasic), you're into the Yakshas and Rakshasas. And if you're, like, totally lost and confused (Tamasic), you're worshipping ghosts and nature spirits. It's all about what's dominating your energy. Sattvic peeps are rare, BTW. Yakshas are like, Kubera's (the wealth god) crew – they guard the riches. Rakshasas? Think powerful, maybe kinda evil beings. Bhutas? Ghosts, basically.
