Good and Evil
(every action results from good or bad karma performed by us - karma yogi)

All human beings primarily have the same attributes yet; one is a king and the other a laborer! Human beings do not have the same attributes as God Almighty. It is our soul atman residing within our heart that is of the same nature as God Almighty! For all practical reasons our soul atman is God Almighty in minuscule form. Not every soul atman... but only the manifested form of which... the form of a human being has reached the stage of enlightenment and salvation!

The form of a human being has been manifested by the soul atman within to work out its karma! And why does the soul atman need to work out its karma? For the simple reason that the soul atman within is imbibed with embedded impurities within! To cleanse itself of the impurities within... the dross contained within... every soul atman on its earthly domain manifests a series of life forms until it reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!

The moment a soul atman reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... all is over for the soul atman within. In other words the manifested form... the form of a human being has gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha). The purpose of manifesting a form by the soul atman having come to an end... the purified soul atman goes back to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism)... a point of no return!

Ever since every soul atman starts its cosmic journey... it has no other alternative than to manifest various life forms to work out its karma. Every human being at any stage of life has two attributes that work simultaneously. The positive and the negative aspect of life! To eradicate the dross within... the human being undergoes suffering... the time when the iron is put in fire. When the finished product is dipped in cold water... it is time for enjoyment for the human being.

Only by intermittent sufferings and happiness does a human being proceed on the journey of life! The moment the dross within removes completely... the soul atman regains its original pristine pure form. It is this purified form which is an attribute of God Almighty... not the impure state! On the earthly domain the wanton desires and greed for materialistic riches act as fuel for evil tendencies. The more we desire... the more evil we garner in the journey of life!

Furthermore God Almighty and Satan are equal in power. One exudes positive energy of the Cosmos... the other negative! If God Almighty possesses plus hundred power, Satan also exudes minus hundred power. On the earthly domain every human being until one reaches the stage of enlightenment practices both evil and godly tendencies. Only those who travel the spiritual path try abstaining from negative tendencies... the evil in life!
