In addition to the listed qualities of a person of divine nature, Lord Krishna adds vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, purity, freedom from malice, and absence of haughtiness.
According to Lord Krishna, divinity is the nature of all beings. If the divine God is the seed of the Universe, there cannot be true existence of the devil. Can a plant be different from the qualities of its own seed?
Therefore, Vedanta views the 'devil' as only absence of expression of goodness. The logic proves that all of us appreciate good qualities wherever they are present and despise the negative traits. Even a thief wants his subordinates to be truthful to him!
Continuing on this topic of distinguishing the divine and devil nature in all living beings, Lord Krishna enumerates the qualities of devil in us.
To start with, He mentions three of them: religious ostentation, pride, and haughtiness.
