GODLESSNESS

WHILE it is true that whatever may be the form of worship God is reached, the Gita condemns godlessness and materialism in no uncertain terms, describing the materialist code of life in language that seems almost to refer to present day affairs.

The materialist does not admit that there is anything in itself right or wrong.

Men born with evil tendency know neither what is right to do to achieve a good object, nor what is right to abstain from doing to avert evil; neither purity nor truth, nor even right behavior is found in them.

XVI-7
