Realization of Freedom from Evils



It is a principle that whatever does not exist in the beginning and the end has no existence at present as well. -  "aadaavante cha yannaasti vartamaane'pi tattathaa" (Mandukya Karikaa 4/31).  As in a mirror, neither there was an image before, nor it will be afterwards, nor is it at present, though it actually is seen, it is not there as such.   So is the case with flaws (evils), it only appears that we have flaws, but as such they are not in us.  

The main flaw is the misuse of freedom bestowed upon us.  It is up to us to accept the existence or non-existence of the unreal. We can choose to indulge in evils such as fraud, forgery and violence etc., or not.    This is the independence that we have received.   From the time we began to misuse this freedom, we have been snared in the cycle of birth and death.  In order to remain free of flaws, i.e. to safeguard himself against evils and the cycle of birth and death, an aspirant should not misuse this freedom. 
 When man misuses the freedom bestowed on him and associates himself with the unreal (temporary), he gets attached to the pleasures derived from association with the unreal. This attachment to sense pleasures is the root of all evils (flaws).  
As we are free from flaws (evils), so also, others are without flaws (faults), because the self of all is naturally free from all evils.  Therefore we should not consider anyone as evil, that is, our eye should naturally be on the faultless self.  If anyone performs an evil deed, we should think that being overpowered by the transitory evil he performed it but neither the evil nor its fruit is permanent.  Neither the action nor the fruit will remain, but the self ever remains.  Moreover if we find and accept faults in others, then those faults (flaws, evils) will come in him, because, seeing those faults in him, our renunciation, penance and power etc.  will naturally aid in giving birth to these evils, whereby the person will become evil.   So from the principles point of view, in relating with our children or pupil, we should give advice to them by considering them faultless and  their evils transitory.  Only by consider them to be free of faults, we should try to free them from evils. 
If evils crop up in the mind and intellect, one must not  come under their sway -  "tayorna vashamaagacchet"   (Gita 3/34) i,e, don't perform any actions coming under the sway (being influenced and impelled) of those evils.  By acting under their sway, the evils are strengthened.  But if we don't act being swayed by them, we get renewed encouragement and enthusiasm (utsaah).  Suppose someone utters harsh words and we don't get angry, we should feel pleased and encouraged that today we have been saved from anger, but not due to our own effort,  rather due to the grace of God that we have been saved, or else we would have come under the sway of anger!  In this manner, whenever an aspirant "sadhak" sees any flaws (evils), he should not come under their influence, and he should not accept these faults (evils) to be in him.
