Sounds Like: The inmost self of saint and sage is no less the veiled godhead than the inmost self of the debauchee, the coward, the lunatic, and the very demons. the opposites (dvandva) of light and darkness, good and evil, pleasure and pain, are the essential elements of the game, for although the godhead is identified with truth (sat), Consciousness (chit), and bliss (ananda), the dark side of life has its integral part in the game just as every drama must have its villain, to disrupt the-status quo, and as the cards must be shuffled, thrown into chaos, in order that there may be a significant development of the play. For hindu thought there is no problem of Evil. The conventional, relative world is necessarily a world of opposites. Light is conceivable apart from darkness: order is meaningless with-out disorder: and likewise, up without down, sound without silence, pleasure without pain."For anyone who holds that "God made the world," the question, Why did he permit the existence in it of any evil, or of that Evil One in whom all evil is personified, is altogether meaningless: one might as well enquire why He did not make a world without dimensions or one without temporal succession."
