SB 11.5.17
eta atma-hano ’santa
ajñane jñana-maninah
sidanty akrta-krtya vai
kala-dhvasta-manorathah
Translation:
The killers of the soul are never peaceful, because they consider that human intelligence is ultimately meant for expanding material life. Thus neglecting their real, spiritual duties, they are always in distress. They are filled with great hopes and dreams, but unfortunately these are always destroyed by the inevitable march of time.
Purport:
There is a similar verse in Sri Isopanisad (3):
asurya nama te loka
andhena tamasavrtah
tams te pretyabhigacchanti
ye ke catma-hano janah
“The killer of the soul, whoever he may be, must enter into the planets known as the worlds of the faithless, full of darkness and ignorance.”
