Bhagavad Gita 16.9
एतां दृष्टिमवष्टभ्य नष्टात्मानोऽल्पबुद्धयः।प्रभवन्त्युग्रकर्माणः क्षयाय जगतोऽहिताः॥
etāṁ dṛiṣhṭim avaṣhṭabhya naṣhṭātmāno ’lpa-buddhayaḥ prabhavanty ugra-karmāṇaḥ kṣhayāya jagato ’hitāḥ
Translation
Holding this view, these ruined selves of small understanding, of fierce deeds, come forth as enemies for the destruction of the world.
What it means
Holding this view, these ruined souls of small understanding and fierce deeds arise as enemies for the destruction of the world. Worldview becomes behavior. A meaningless universe licenses violent living.
Try this today
Nihilism's trajectory: small understanding, fierce action, destruction.
Something to reflect on
When has my worldview licensed my behavior - for better or worse?
