Thereupon Shobhãrãm Shãstri asked a question: “Mahãrãj, there are two types of jivas: godly and demonic. Have they always been so since eternity, or have they become so due to association?”
Shriji Mahãrãj replied, “In the beginning, during the period of dissolution, both types of jivas, godly and demonic, are absorbed within mãyã. Then, when the cosmos is created, both types of jivas emerge, each with its own nature. There are also those ordinary jivas who become godly or demonic due to association with godly or demonic jivas. Also, there are some godly and demonic jivas who gradually develop such a nature due to the karmas they perform. But mainly, the cause of such godly and demonic natures is the grace or the wrath of the Satpurush…”
