In reality, the notions of good and evil are defined in relation to Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality, for the Sovereign Lord is the Absolute Existence, the Absolute Abode, the Absolute Truth, the Absolute Life, and as such we must understand that since the entire cosmic universe dwells in Him, as do all spirit souls, He is the sole beneficiary of all the fruits of the actions performed by all beings. By virtue of His supreme, infinite, and absolute position, Lord Krishna is in fact the owner of all that exists, and the sole beneficiary of all the fruits of all the works of souls residing both in the spiritual world and those incarnated in the material universe.

Because of this truth, it is easy to understand that the true notion of good and evil is defined in relation to Krishna, God, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, for He is the pure essence and the only reality.

The Supreme Lord proves this with these words: There is truly nothing that exists except Me; this is what you must clearly understand.

How can we ensure that our thoughts, words, and actions no longer produce any effects?

It is the effects produced by our thoughts, words, and actions that are the cause of the perpetuation of reincarnation.

Lord Krishna said: It is the thoughts and memories of a being at the moment they leave their body that determine their future condition.

If Jesus spread a teaching based on benevolence, it was essentially to prevent his disciples and apostles from having thoughts, words, and actions rooted in evil, because they would have forced them to reincarnate repeatedly, and each time have a life filled with various sufferings.

This is why he said: “Love one another.”

At the end of his teaching, he told them: I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot understand them now. When the Helper, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own, but whatever he hears (said by the Father), he will speak, and he will show you things to come.

Truly, we must absolutely understand that all our thoughts, words, and actions produce positive and/or negative effects, which will lead to good and/or bad consequences, both at the end of our current existence and in our next life, which will certainly bring about good and/or bad consequences, from which we will either rejoice or suffer. It is fundamental to understand that in the material universe, good and evil, kindness and wickedness, joy and hatred, are placed on the same level and are a projection of the mind.

If we do good with a virtuous attitude, our next life will be pleasant, we will enjoy easy access to material wealth, we will be born, for example, into a wealthy family, or into a family whose father is a servant of Krishna.
