1 Gita Sloka  Every Day - Chapter 16 - Daivasura Sampad Vibhaga Yoga - Sloka 16


Aneka chitt vibhrantah moha jala samavratah I
Prasaktah kama bhogeshu patanti narake ashuchau II sloka 16
अनेक  चित्त विभ्रान्तः मोह जल समाव्रतः I 
प्रसक्तः काम भोगेषु पतन्ति नरके अशुचौ II श्लोक 16

Bewildered by many a fancy, enmeshed in the snare of delusion, addicted to the gratification of lust, they fall into a foul hell. 

They are confused by numerous thoughts, imagining they are the doers of all things; without realising that the everything is done by the Lord's will and grace. They keep on desiring to do more and more things, to satisfy their lust and greed. They are surrounded by a network of delusion regarding everything. They are deeply addicted to sensual enjoyments. They die, in the midst of their attempts to satisfy their desires and fall down into the impure hell.
