Are you Divine or Demonic?🔗

Now, after hearing about 'You' and 'me', Arjuna has a fear, 'Bhagavān, am I living with Divine or demonic nature?' He is not expressing that feeling, but his face reveals his fear. Kṛṣṇa explains that living with transcendental qualities, that is the right space of 'you', one achieves liberation or Enlightenment, nivṛitti. By living with the space of 'I' we create more bondage. The demonic qualities make for bondage, meaning pravṛitti.

Kṛṣṇa assures Arjuna, not to worry, for he is born with Divine qualities, mā śucaḥ sampadaṁ daivīm abhijāto asi pāṇḍava (16.5).

Let me assure you, if this fear arises in you, you are Divine. The person who is ready to look within, the person who is afraid if he is living rightly or wrongly, always lives rightly. Only the person who is arrogant is demonic. If we have ever contemplated whether we were living with 'You' or 'I', if the doubt, fear or guilt arose in you, then we are born with Divine nature. Like Arjuna, we too are born with divine qualities. So, you don't need to worry about it. Naturally, then Lord Kṛṣṇa tells us that we are born with Divine nature.

Now, all we need to know is how to live and experience our Divinity. When we live with the root cognition of 'You, You, You', we completely forget ourselves; we disappear into Existence. We are in bliss.
