Aum.<br><br>BH\u0100SHYA<br>The soul radiates love, is a child of God going through its ev\u00adolutionary process of growing up into the image and likeness of the Lord. Goodness and mercy, com\u00adpassion and caring are the intrinsic, inherent or in\u00addwelling na\u00adture of the soul. Wis\u00addom and pure knowledge, happiness and joy are the in\u00adtrin\u00ads\u00adic nature of the soul. Can we be\u00adlieve the soul is anything but goodness itself, purity and all the refined qualities found within superconsciousness? When God is everywhere, how can there be a place for evil? The soul is constantly one with God in its ever-present Satchid\u0101nanda state at every point in its evolution. How, then, arises the concept of evil and suffering? \u0100\u1e47a\u00adva, karma and m\u0101y\u0101, the play toys of the soul, are the source of this seeming suffering. Like a child, we play with the toys of \u0101\u1e47ava in the playground of m\u0101y\u0101, fall and are bruised by karma, then run to our loving Lord for solace and release into spiritual maturity. The Vedas pointedly state, \u201cAs the sun, the eye of the whole world, is not sullied by the external faults of the eyes, so the one inner soul of all things is not sullied by the sor\u00adrow in the world, being external to it.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are Souls and World Essentially Good? \u015aLOKA 46The intrinsic and real nature of all beings is their soul, which is goodness.
