Have you ever rethought your vision of reality?
In the middle of the road I heard an incredible story of people who seemed to have a very different idea of life. In the Far East, people were born with a very sophisticated view of human existence, an unusual interpretation of good and evil, of the veracity of reality and of the seriousness of life...
His idea is that God did not make the world like a technologist, but acts like one, that is, every person, everything in this case, every tree, every flower, every animal, every star, every rock, every grain of dust is a role or part of one that the divinity is acting, you must understand of course that the Hindu image of God is a little different from the Jewish, Christian and Islamic image.
In our popular image of God, God is the supreme technocrat, he knows all the answers, he understands everything in detail and could tell you everything about it, but Hindus do not think of God that way.
Another point where they differ markedly is about, why have things gone wrong? Why is there evil? Why is there pain? Why is there a tragedy? Now in the Christian tradition, you have to attribute the evil to something other than God, so God is defined as good. He originally created the scheme of things without any evil in him, but there was a mysterious accident in which one of the Angels named Lucifer did not do what was right. There man had the fall of man, man disobeyed, it was against the law of God and from this point evil entered the world and things began to go wrong, ie against the will of the creator who is perfectly good, now, the Hindu thinks differently, he feels that the creator or the Actor is the author of both good and evil, because you must have an evil side to have a history and, In any case, it is not as if the Creator has done evil and made another person his victim, it is not as if God created good and evil and as if we were poor little puppets and he inflicts evil on us, the Hindu says that no one experiences pain except divinity, you are not a separate little puppet who is being handled by omnipotence, you are the disguised divinity and therefore there is no victim in this. Even the baby with syphilis is the divinity in his sleep.
This makes people educated in the West extremely uncomfortable, because it seems to undermine the foundations of moral conduct and say good, if good and evil are created by God, isn't this a universe in which anything goes? I mean, if I am God in disguise, then I can murder without consequences, but think about it, as I pointed out in the Game, as the Hindus analyze it, the evil part acts a third of the time and the good part has 2/3 of the game, what kind of game you want anyway, you'll find that all the good games that are worth playing and that arouse our interest are built that way, If you have good in evil equally balanced the game is boring, nothing happens, it is stagnant, the irresistible force meets the immovable object, on the other hand, if all is well and there is almost no evil, perhaps very little like a fly in the soup, it also becomes boring in the same way.
