THE WAYS OF THE WICKED

 SUBHASHITHAM : 033

न विना अपवादेन रमते दुर्जनो जन: I

काक: सर्वरसान्भुङ्ग्ते  विना अमेध्यं न तृप्यति II

Na vinaa apavadena ramate durjano jana: I Kaka: sarva rasaan bhungte vina amedyam na trupyati

“Without throwing mud at others , the wicked never feel happy. Just as a crow is never satisfied unless it eats distasteful food, even though the best of  food is offered to it.”

खल: सर्षपमात्राणि पराच्छिद्राणि पश्यति |
आत्मनो बिल्वमात्राणि पश्यन्नपि न पश्यति ||

Kala: sarshapamaathraani parachidraani pasyati I Atmano bilvamaathraani pasyannapi na pasyati II

A wicked person will notice the bad qualities as tiny as a mustard seed in other person, but will not notice his own faults , even  if it is as large as a ‘Bilva patra ‘.

मूर्खस्य पञ्च चिह्नानि गर्वो दुर्वचनं तथा ।

क्रोधश्च दृधवादश्च परवाक्येष्वनादरः ॥

Moorkasya pancha chinhani garvo durvachanam thatha I

Krodhascha drudhavaadascha paravaakyeshvanaadara: II

Five characteristics of fools: Excessive  pride, hateful speech, unreasonable anger, taking sides during arguments (not looking at merits of the issue) and total dis-respect to other people's views .

वृश्चिकस्य विषं पृच्छे मक्षिकायाः मुखे विषम् ।

तक्षकस्य विषं दन्ते सर्वांगे दुर्जनस्य तत् ॥

Vruchikasya visham puchhe makshikaayaascha muke visham I

Takshakasya visham dhante sarvaange durjanasya thath II

A scorpion has poison in its tail. A bee has it in its mouth. A snake has it in its fangs. A rogue person has poison in his entire body.

In the Bhagavad Gita ch16, there are many slokas on Asuri sampath ( Demonic nature ), we will just see one of them :

आशापाशशतैर्बद्धा: कामक्रोधपरायणा: |

ईहन्ते कामभोगार्थमन्यायेनार्थसञ्जयान् || 12||

āśhā-pāśha-śhatair baddhāḥ kāma-krodha-parāyaṇāḥ

īhante kāma-bhogārtham anyāyenārtha-sañchayān

BG 16.12: Held in bondage by hundreds of desires, and driven by lust and anger, they strive to accumulate wealth by unjust means, all for the gratification of their senses.
