Kindle Notes & Highlights
One of the least likable characteristics of “demonic” personalities is their sense of self-importance. They like to give gifts ostentatiously and offer ritual sacrifices; this legitimizes their wealth and makes them feel respectable and esteemed. They like being generous if it will make them look good.
Lust, anger, and greed are the three doors to hell
Bound by their greed and entangled in a web of delusion, whirled about by a fragmented mind, they fall into a dark hell.
Self-important, obstinate, swept away by the pride of wealth, they ostentatiously perform sacrifices without any regard for their purpose. 18 Egotistical, violent, arrogant, lustful, angry, envious of everyone, they abuse my presence within their own bodies and in the bodies of others.
The yakshas are servants of the god of wealth; rakshasas are powerful, fearsome spirits driven by the lust for power and pleasure.
It is better to do one’s own work, even if imperfectly, than to try to take on some other work.
