What the ignorant see as evil, the enlightened see as the actions of low-minded and immature individuals. Aum.<br><br>BH\u0100SHYA<br>Evil is often looked upon as a force against God. But the Hindu knows that all forces are God\u2019s forces, even the waywardness of adharma. This is sometimes difficult to understand when we see the pains and prob\u00adlems caused by men against men. Looking deeper, we see that what is called evil has its own mysterious purpose in life. Yes, bad things do happen. Still, the wise never blame God, for they know these to be the return of man\u2019s self-created kar\u00admas, difficult but necessary experiences for his spiritual evolution. Whenever we are injured or hurt, we un\u00adderstand that our suffering is but the fulfillment of a kar\u00adma we once initiated, for which our injurer is but the instrument who, when his karma cycles around, will be the injured. Those who perform seemingly evil deeds are not yet in touch with the ever-present God consciousness of their immortal soul. The Vedas rightly admonish, \u201cBorne along and defiled by the stream of qualities, unsteady, wavering, bewildered, full of desire, distracted, one goes on into the state of self-conceit. In thinking \u2018This is I\u2019 and \u2018That is mine\u2019 one binds himself with himself, as does a bird with a snare.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Do Some Souls Act in Evil Ways? \u015aLOKA 47People act in evil ways who have lost touch with their soul nature and live totally in the outer, instinctive mind.
