JOURNAL:

Srila Prabhupada states in his purport; Each demoniac person thinks that he can live at the sacrifice of all others. We have all known people who are so self-centered that they think of themselves as "entitled". Their mantra seems to be, "Just leave all the rest to me, I need it worst than you". They never hear the child crying.

Srila Prabhupada points out in this sloka; Here the Sanskrit word moha-jala is very significant. Jala means "net"; like fish caught in a net, they have no way to come out.
