Everybody does his actions properly. A thief must pilfer things. A scoundrel must do
wrong actions. These are Kartavya. Remember this world is Trigunatmic and relative. Every
movement of the foot, every step, is an attempt towards Sat-chit-ananda. The world is a relative
plane. Prostitutes, saints, rogues, beggars, kings are all doing their respective duties. Good and
evil are relative terms. Evil exists to glorify good. Hatred exists to glorify love. A rogue is not
an eternal rogue. He can become a saint within the twinkling of an eye when he is placed in
proper Sattvic company.
