More From Max Muller

When one has once accepted and absorbed evil, it no longer demands the unfitness of the means. the ulterior motives with which youabsorb and assimilate evil are not your own but those of evil.... evil is whatever distracts. evil knows of the good, but good does not know of evil. knowledge of oneself is something only evil has. one means that evil has is the dialogue.... one cannot pay evil in installments--and one always keeps on trying to.
Mean Evil Trying
Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. evil is simply the absence of god. it is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of god. god did not create evil. evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. evil is the result of what happens when man does not have god's love present in his heart. it's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.

Man and his deed are two distinct things. whereas a good deed should call forth approbation and a wicked deed dis-approbation, the doer of the deed, whether good or wicked always deserves respect or pity as the case may be. hate the sin and not the sinner is a precept which though easy enough to understand is rarely practised, and that is why the poison of hatred spreads in the world.

One should see the world, and see himself as a scale with an equal balance of good and evil. when he does one good deed the scale is tipped to the good - he and the world is saved. when he does one evil deed the scale is tipped to the bad - he and the world is destroyed.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

Tell me,' asked stas, 'what is a wicked deed?' 'if anyone takes away kali's cow,' he answered after a brief reflection, 'that then is a wicked deed.' 'excellent!' exclaimed stas, 'and what is a good one?' this time the answer came without any reflection: 'if kali takes away the cow of somebody else, that is a good deed.' stas was too young to perceive that similar views of evil and good deeds were enunciated in europe not only by politicians but by whole nations.

Roman catholics utter their papal edicts, protestants quote their bible, fundamentalists declare their orthodox theological dogmas, and we are all expected to renounce private reflection and peacefully acquiesce to these pronouncements. and the result is that the dignity of the person is violated by such oppressive, intelligence-smothering forms of communication.

Reading, reflection and time have convinced me that the interests of society require the observation of those moral precepts only in which all religions agree (for all forbid us to steal, murder, plunder, or bear false witness), and that we should not intermeddle with the particular dogmas in which all religions differ, and which are totally unconnected with morality.
