Universal time and death are the signs of the power of God, and the visible proof of his existence.
Logos 41
The so-called rivalry between Satan and the Supreme Eternal is a lie, an invention of the demonic disbelievers to lead human beings astray and keep them in ignorance.
If the forces of evil exist, know that they are not autonomous powers, but energies of God, which act under his authority. They always remain perfectly under his control and his total supremacy. The Supreme Eternal, Krishna, whose power is absolute, dominates all that exists, for everything emanates from him. It is he alone who creates, maintains and destroys what exists. He is still Supreme and has no equal, rival and even less superior. He is the One Absolute without a second. One of the energies of God, the energy of illusion, whose role is to delude men into turning to the Lord, is the representation of evil or Satan. Satan, as a spiritual being, is in no way autonomous, independent, and cannot intervene as a rival of God, for he is subject to the authority of God. The energy of illusion, maya, which is akin to Satan, manifests its influence only when one turns away from God, and refuses to serve him with love and devotion.
God is light, and where light shines darkness disappears. Those who adopt the consciousness of God, the energy of illusion, evil or Satan, cannot approach them.
Logos 42
God says: “You will not harm anyone, and you will not will not kill”. There is no justification for taking life.
The sufferings we suffer today are the exact consequences of the abominable acts we committed in our previous life. Whoever commits murder, even against a cruel person, will have to suffer a lot in his future life and will be killed in his turn. To condemn an assassin to death is to save him great suffering in his next life. We can escape the justice of men, that of God it is impossible.
Suffering is useful and necessary, because it allows, through the pain felt, to know what the malicious actions generate and thus to take the resolution never to do evil again in any form whatsoever, to anyone.
Suffering is useful and necessary, because it allows to reduce and erase accumulated sins and wicked or even criminal acts committed in the past and the previous life.
