The ignorant complain, justify, fear and criticize \u201csinful deeds,\u201d setting themselves apart as lofty puritans. When the outer, or lower, instinctive na\u00adture dominates, one is prone to anger, fear, greed, jealousy, hatred and backbiting. When the intellect is prominent, ar\u00adrogance and analytical think\u00ad\u00ading preside. When the superconscious soul comes forth the re\u00adfined qualities are born\u2014com\u00adpas\u00adsion, insight, modesty and the others. The animal in\u00adstincts of the young soul are strong. The intellect, yet to be developed, is nonexistent to control these strong in\u00adstinctive impulses. When the intellect is de\u00advel\u00adoped, the instinctive nature subsides. When the soul unfolds and overshadows the well-de\u00adveloped intellect, this mental harness is loosened and removed. When we en\u00adcoun\u00adter wickedness in others, let us be compassionate, for truly there is no intrinsic evil. The Vedas say, \u201cMind is in\u00addeed the source of bondage and also the source of lib\u00ader\u00adation. To be bound to things of this world: this is bon\u00addage. To be free from them: this is liberation.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Source of Good and Evil? \u015aLOKA 48Instead of seeing good and evil in the world, we understand the nature of the embodied soul in three interrelated parts: instinctive or physical-emotional; intellectual or mental; and superconscious or spiritual.
