# Demoniac Destiny

Such a selfish approach can never bring any true happiness. Thus, demons are invariably plagued with perplexity and anxiety. Entangled in a network of destructive desires, they are filled with fear, frustration and anger in this lifetime, and after death descend into lower forms of existence where they are forced to suffer the ramifications of their acts; miserable in the now, and hellish in the future. 

Krishna’s message is loud and clear: demoniac philosophy breeds a demoniac mentality, the demoniac mentality leads to demoniac activity, and demoniac activities secure a demoniac destiny.
