Gīta Tātparya 16.20
The innate nature of beings as gods, demons, and humans is inherent since time immemorial and cannot be altered by anyone, anywhere. Those of a divine nature need not lament, though overwhelmed temporarily. They are dear to Hari and worthy of liberation.

As redness in the crystal is due to external cause, similarly continuous and eternal is this innate nature and cannot be turned around. Though overwhelmed, he need not lament, as he has remained with divine nature continuously since creation. Indeed, he is dear to Hari and worthy of liberation."
- stated thus as well.
Thus ends the sixteenth chapter of the Śrī Bhagavad Gītā purport, composed by the revered teacher Ānandatīrtha Bhagavatpāda.
