The Cycle of Life and Death

Asurim yonim apannah mudhah janmani janmani I

Mam aprapyai eva kaunteya tatah yanti adhamam gatim II sloka 20

असुरीम् योनिम् आपन्ना मूढाः जन्मनि जन्मनि I 

माम् अप्राप्यै एव कौन्तेय ततः यान्ति अधमम् गतिम् II स्लोका २० 

Entering into demoniac wombs, the deluded ones, in birth after birth, without ever reaching me, they thus fall, O Kaunteya, into a condition still lower. 

Thus fallen into devilish wombs, they further hate me. So in birth after birth, they develop perverse knowledge about Me, Without attaining the knowledge that I am the supreme Lord and the ruler of all; They go doen to lower  and lower states of birth. Like a stone rolled down the slope of a hill, he falls into the abyss of depravity

What is the root cause of depravity of man? The answer comes in the next sloka
