Bhagavad Gita 16.9

When the mind abandons the divine vision of unity and grasps instead at destructive ideologies, the soul becomes enslaved to its own darkness—losing wisdom, losing discernment, losing its way home. The Gita shows us that those who cling to such corrupted understanding inevitably generate harm, both within themselves and the world around them.

In our modern age, when we absorb ideologies of hatred, greed, or domination without questioning their source, we too become instruments of suffering rather than channels of grace. The path back is always available: return to the sacred view, remember your true nature, and watch how your actions transform.
