Bhagavad Geeta 16.7

Sanskrit

प्रवृत्तिं च निवृत्तिं च जना न विदुरासुराः।न शौचं नापि चाचारो न सत्यं तेषु विद्यते।।16.7।।

pravṛittiṁ cha nivṛittiṁ cha janā na vidur āsurāḥ na śhauchaṁ nāpi chāchāro na satyaṁ teṣhu vidyate

Meaning

Leaders who ignore ethical boundaries lose clarity on right action. Integrity and truthfulness are essential foundations for sound decision-making and sustainable success.

Translation

Neither do the demoniacal persons understand what should be done and what should not be done; nor do they possess purity, good conduct, or truthfulness.
