Good and evil - our power to reduce them or increase them within ourselves

10/25/2016

Much of the suffering human beings have to endure comes, of course, from outside themselves. And yet, the suffering inflicted on them for which they are not directly responsible is, all the same, partly their responsibility: they have not learned how to make themselves immune to it. If they are so vulnerable, it is because the negative elements sent to them by the outside world strike a chord in them. And it may even be that the evil is magnified because of the impurities and darkness they harbour in their mind and heart. Those who try to foster purity and light within themselves, are not only able to neutralize the evil, but the good they may receive is also increased. For if they are unable to really feel the blessings that come to them every day from the visible and invisible worlds, it means that all sorts of opaque matter within are blocking them. You see then, how everything depends on us: whether it be repelling evil, as well as attracting, preserving and even increasing that which is good.
