Raja Vidya Yogah - Those whose hopes, actions, and knowledge are futile, and who are devoid of discrimination, take refuge in demoniac and deluded natures.
मोघाशा मोघकर्माणो मोघज्ञाना विचेतस: |
राक्षसीमासुरीं चैव प्रकृतिं मोहिनीं श्रिता: ||12||

Those whose hopes, actions, and knowledge are futile, and who are devoid of discrimination, take refuge in demoniac and deluded natures.

  • Mogha: Futile or wasted.
  • Rakshasi: Demonic nature.
  • Asuri: Nature of ignorance and darkness.

Krishna discusses the consequences of futile aspirations, actions, and knowledge. By surrendering to lower tendencies, individuals miss the opportunity for spiritual progress. This sets the stage for contrasting qualities of the faithful and wise.
