Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 6, Ch. 4]
āsurīṁ yonim āpannā mūḍhā janmani janmani mām aprāpyaiva kaunteya tato yānty adhamāṁ gatim
“Those who are envious and mischievous, who are the lowest among men, are cast by Me into the ocean of material existence, into various demoniac species of life. Attaining repeated birth among the species of demoniac life, such persons can never approach Me. Gradually they sink down to the most abominable type of existence.” Because of their envy of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, nondevotees are born in demoniac families life after life. They are great offenders, and because of their offenses the Supreme Lord keeps them always bewildered.  Kurvanti caiṣāṁ muhur ātma-moham : the Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, purposely keeps them in darkness ( ātma-moham ).
The great authority Parāśara, the father of Vyāsadeva, explains the Supreme Personality of Godhead thus:
jñāna-śakti-balaiśvarya- vīrya-tejāṁsy aśeṣataḥ bhagavac-chabda-vācyāni vinā heyair guṇādibhiḥ
The demoniac speculators cannot understand the transcendental qualities, form, pastimes, strength, knowledge and opulence of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, which are all free from material contamination ( vinā heyair guṇādibhiḥ ). These speculators are envious of the existence of the Lord.  Jagad āhur anīśvaram : their conclusion is that the entire cosmic manifestation has no controller, but is just working naturally. Thus they are kept in constant darkness, birth after birth, and cannot understand the real cause of all causes. This is the reason why there are so many schools of philosophical speculation.
