Thank you. ======reply from Vivekananda Centre London====== Good/Evil Not necessarily in just the Bhagavad Gita but in Hindu philosophy it is recognised that difference between good and evil is not that easy to work out - the demarcation is not absolute. It will be either relative (what is good for one may be evil for another) Or It is partial (what is good now may turn out to be bad in future) Or it is just conventional .( a priory). Hence Hinduism says 'all are good' the difference is not in quality but in the level of goodness manifested. (a relative scale). We are all going towards greater good from lesser good. sometimes this lesser good appears very pointed and we call it 'evil' Hope this helps a little Vivekananda Centre London Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
