āsurīṁ yonim āpannā mūḍhā janmani janmani mām aprāpyaiva kaunteya tato yānty adhamāṁ gatim
"Entering demonic wombs birth after birth, these deluded ones, never attaining Me, O son of Kunti, thus fall to the lowest state."
What This Means:
Birth after birth falling into demonic circumstances, these deluded ones never reach God and sink to ever lower states. It's a downward spiral.
Going Deeper:
'Āsurīm yonim āpannāḥ'—entering demonic wombs. 'Mūḍhāḥ janmani janmani'—deluded ones, birth after birth. 'Mām aprāpya eva'—not attaining Me. Without divine connection, the spiral continues downward. 'Adhamām gatim yānti'—they go to the lowest state. Not one bad birth but a trajectory—each life making the next worse without intervention.
How To Apply This:
Break the cycle now. Whatever negative tendencies you have, address them in this life. Don't leave spiritual work for 'later'—the trajectory compounds. Today's effort shapes not just tomorrow but lifetimes.
