Why did God create the bad at all?
The good is Satvam quality. The bad is Rajas and Tamas qualities. These three qualities constitute the entire creation, which is the game of the Lord. The bat, ball and net are the three means of the game. You are beating the ball with the bat. But in beating the ball you are not angry with the ball or hate the ball with tension. You are beating the ball as a part of the game. Similarly the bad should be destroyed and the good must be established as in the game.
But you need not be furious at the bat or hate the bat. Without the ball the game of beating the ball cannot take place. The game cannot start without bat. Thus good and bad are equally instrumental in the game. The actor who played the role of hero and the actor who played the role of villian are equally important and are paid well. Rama killed Ravana and Krishna killed Sisupala. The Lord killed them peacefully without any hatred towards them. He knows that He is playing the game.
He beats the ball but without any anger or hatred. When one sees all the three qualities with equal view without any tension, he becomes the follower of Datta. Datta means the equality in the three qualities. Brahma is Rajas. Vishnu is Satvam and Siva is Tamas. All the three forms are equal and constitute the whole game. Thus the Lord destroys the injustice and establishes the justice without any tension or hatred in His heart. You want the villian in the picture. You want salt and sour in the meals. But you don’t want to see bad in the creation.
The creation is a picture for the Lord as said in Veda (Sa Eekshata, Saakshee Chetaa). The creation is the full meal of the Lord as said in Brahmasutras (Attaa Charachara Grahanat). If you are served with meals containing only sweet items or see a picture without a villian, then you will not put this question.
Lord created the universe for entertainment. He has given free will to all the human beings to do whatever they like. But, the results will follow the deeds. So, He is indirectly controlling, that is to say that enjoyment for good deeds and misery for bad deeds. Misery is to bring realisation only and not to repeat the same bad deed. Otherwise, He is not responsible for one’s deeds. There is nothing like His enjoying when one harms the other. He watches this as a cinema only.
One has to receive the fruits of the deeds whether good or bad (Naabhuktam Ksheeyate Karma). There is only one way to escape the fruits of the deeds. The Lord comes down in human form and undergoes the punishments for your sake and saves you. At the same time He will protect the prestige of God of Justice and the theory of Karma. This is the main reason for His human incarnation.
He will never cancel the fruits of deeds. He will sacrifice Himself and protects you. When you cannot pay the fine, your father pays it. You must become eligible for such grace of the Lord. You achieve the eligibility when you do not aspire to get rid of the fruits of your deeds and prepare to undergo the punishments of all your sins. You should never think that the Lord should sacrifice for your sake.
Most of the times, we misunderstand God and interpret wrongly. For proper understanding of Him, we should learn the divine knowledge and practice it. Lord preaches the true spiritual knowledge in human form only, like Jesus, Krishna and Prophet Mohammed. His mission is to uplift human beings by preaching the divine knowledge. We should participate in His mission as His servants without aspiring anything in return. The practical participation (in form of donating money and physically spending \by working) will only prove our devotion.
Real love involves sacrifice. When we sacrifice ourselves and serve our kith-kin we are getting enjoyment. Our enjoyment comes with the enjoyment of our beloved, which clearly shows that the true love involves sacrifice.
Lord is substratum of the whole creation and hence forms base. Without Him creation cannot sustain. Lord created the universe for entertainment. He has given free will to all the human beings to do whatever they like. But, the results will follow the deeds. So, He is indirectly controlling, that is to say that enjoyment for good deeds and misery for bad deeds. Misery is to bring realisation only and not to repeat the same bad deed. Otherwise, He is not responsible for one’s deeds.
Creation is in Lord but Lord is not the creation. But such a Lord can enter creation at the request of devotees who wants Him only and His service. He comes down to give four fortunes to His devotees (to talk, to touch, co-living and to serve).
