Why should there be evil?

This is a question which still remains unanswered by sages, Rishis, Acharyas and
Philosophers. Do not put this question now. You cannot understand it now in your present stage
of evolution. It is inexplicable, inscrutable, Anirvachanee Maya. Brahman or God only knows.
You will understand it only when you get rid of Maya, when you attain the knowledge of
Brahman. This question is put in another way also. Why has God created this universe?
Nobody knows the why and how of this universe. Don’t rack your brain on this point now. You
won’t get an answer. You will only waste your energy. Try to go beyond evil. There are ways.
Know them and exert.

  • The source of evil in the world is the judging of people through other people and the holding back of love.
