The Bhagavad Gita contains one of the most illuminating ideas I've ever found. It states that the Creation--all the physical and metaphysical worlds--comprise three characteristics called Gunas: Satwa, Rajas and Tamas. Satwa is that which conducts consciousness, Rajas that which reflects consciousness and Tamas, which absorbs it. These characteristics are always present and always interacting with each other. Strengthen one and the others will reassert themselves. I've found this formulation descriptive of my life's experience.
Springtime perturbs the balance.
What does this have to do with evil?
Stay tuned ...
