GOOD REPELLING EVIL
1HUMMMMM, O teacher! Do not worry or feel dishearten by attitude of those that accept Evil as there Good, they are hopeless. Can they profit by preaching or guidance? They have themselves deliberately rejected all guidance. Instead of resenting the preaching of Truth, they should welcome it and profit by it. Teacher, go on tilling the soil that is open to you. Dry, unpromising soil may seem to all intents and purposes dead; there is no source of water near; moisture is sucked up by the sun’s heat in a far-off ocean, and clouds are formed; winds arise; it seems as if the wind blows as it listen, drives to the dead land; the rain falls, and behold! There is life and motion and beauty everywhere! The unfolding of a new world out of an old world, that is folded up and dead.
2HUMMMMM, good is mixed with evil, knowledge with ignorance, power with arrogance; it is only when matters are brought to an issue that evil is separated distinctly from good. The evil consorts with evil, and good with good. The latent faculties in man are enough to teach him the distinction between good and evil, to warn him of the dangers that beset his life. But to awaken and stimulate them, a personal appeal is making to each individual through the ‘still small voice’ within him. Devil takes advantage of every weak point, and sometimes even human good and generous sympathies are used to decoy them into the snares of evil. The forces of evil never relax their efforts to draw their brethren deeper and deeper into the mere of sin and destruction. Every human who sees evil must speak out against it as there is always a chance that the warning may have effect and save a precious soul.
3HUMMMMM, Evil grows with what it feeds on. So goodness and felicity grow with there practice. The Good may be alone to start with, but (unlike evil ones) they get holy companions. The suggestion of some people that the teacher is possessed or inspires by evil spirits is itself the work of evil. Behind such suggestions are lying and wickedness, or at best some half-truths caught up in hearsay and twisted so as to show Good in an evil light. No Good is ever lost; the humblest Good, in word or deed, is exalted to high rank; the highest glory and power. Seek the attainment to the highest glory and power. It is the nature of Evil to work underground, to hide from the light, to plot against Righteousness. Its plots must fail.
4HUMMMMM, the evil of hypocrisy has to be dealt with in all ages. Keep clear of their wiles, but at sometime, do not hesitate to show them the error of their ways, or to put in a word in season, to penetrate their hearts and put them aright. Evil tempts man in all sorts of ways and presents seductive promises and alliances to delude him into the belief that he will be saved from the consequences. Preach, guide, instruct and show the way. Evil must cease to be evil, before it can see or enjoy good.
5HUMMMMM, Say: I do not teach unkindness and wrong-doing. Close-fisted ness and envy are among the worst forms of selfishness, and appear especially incongruous in people of power, authority, or influence, from whom is expected generosity in giving and generosity in seeing other people’s prosperity or happiness. Misuse of wealth, property, and resources is condemned in three ways; do not acquire anything wrongfully or on false pretences; do not hoard or amass wealth for its own sake but use it freely for good, whether for yourself or for your neighbours; and particularly careful not to waste it for idle purposes, but only so that it may fructify for the good of the people. I am not dazzle by your splendour, but stand out straight for Truth.
6HUMMMMM, the misleaders have used their power and influence to spread evil. The ‘right hand’ is the hand of power and authority. Instead of using it for righteous purposes, they used it for evil, - selfishly for their own advantage, and mischievously for the degradation of others. Their evil example is before you; corruption, injustice and irresponsibility. They give countenance to evils, and it becomes difficult to give them up. Selfish arrogance prevents them from mending their life and conduct. Have faith in righteousness. The responsibility is personal, and cannot be shifted on to others. Evil means a personal rebellion against truth, right and justice. Evil has no authority over you, except in so far as you deliberately choose it.
7HUMMMMM, acknowledge incontestable facts and do not ridicule the teaching of Truth. The facts touch the inner springs of your life intimately.
Cast away evil from thy land. The evil is not part of the heavenly system; it is a thing in outlawry, a self-willed rebellion. Let the good be guarded and protected against every assault of evil. Discipline in ranks, unity of plan and purpose in repelling evil, and concerted action in promoting the Truth are required.
8HUMMMMM, human that is a cynic and live an evil life deserves: - Fire of Regrets; the Home of Sorrow and Regrets. Dreadful bitter Tree grows at the bottom of the fire. – Fruits; the tree’s fruit-stalks, which should have been tender, are like the heads of devils; its produce is eaten voraciously. – Drinks; on top of the fire is a boiling mixture to cut up wrong-doers entrails. Every time wrong-doers complete a round of orgies they will return to the same game (unending chain of evil). Justice demands that those who sow evil should reap the fruit, but the punishment is due to their own conduct and not to anything external to themselves. The agony of the condemned ones will penetrate their being through and through.
Human that has faith in righteousness and live a good life deserves: - Gardens of Bliss with all their charm, design, greenery, birds’ songs and fountains, the Home of Happiness and Dignity. –Food and Fruits; in drink there is no intoxication and in fruit there is no satiety. Delicious Drinks from crystal springs, for social pleasure. – Companionship; congenial company seated on Thrones; the society of companions of the opposite sex, with beauty and charm; pure type of chaste womanhood; chaste, not bold with their glances; but their eyes are big with wonder and beauty, prefiguring grace, innocence, and a refined capacity of appreciation and admiration. The bliss of the blessed will penetrate their being through and through.
9HUMMMMM, the sun and the moon both traverse the belt of the Zodiac, and Zodiac, and their motions are different; they never catch up each other. When the sun and the moon are on the same side and on a line with the earth there is a solar eclipse, and when on opposite sides in a line, there is a lunar eclipse, but there is no clash. Similarly Night and Day follow each other, but being opposites cannot coincide, a fit emblem of the opposition of Good and Evil, Truth and Falsehood. The Day or the Light is a positive thing. The Night or Darkness is merely negative. The negative cannot be withdrawn. But withdrawing the real thing, the positive, which filled the void, nothing is left but the void. This is eminently conformable to reason and the true facts of nature.
