What is good, and bad?
In ordinary life, happiness
and misery are the the same. So are good and bad, pleasure and pain, virtue and
sin, wealth and poverty, health and sickness, knowledge and ignorance, dharma
and adharma, and so on; these are in the web of binary oppositions that
challenge men in the inner circle of his life but the manifestation of the same
thing. The same thing means, for example, the fire that helped me cooking my
food yesterday gutted a building today destroying the property and a hundred
lives dear to us. The same fire, which manifested as good for cooking, has
manifested as bad when they caused destruction. The same fire but
has two different manifestations. Hence, happiness and misery-two
manifestations of the same thing- coexist, and we cannot have them separated.
If someone says he is always happy, it is a word of contradiction. It is not
true. Man is naturally a being of contradiction and so is the society. If
you conduct a life in the outer circle (beyond the limitations of sensory
organs and the limitation of reason), then it could be a world of different
definition: where you become He(The Impersonal Absolute) and deathless. The people
who lived in the outer circle of life could be Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and so on, who are Personal Gods or Incarnations…. These gods have replaced ancient gods( for example Greek gods or gods of violent nature) as mankind moved towards more civilized life with stringent codes for ethics. In the future( in a few thousands of years hence), the future mankind could be more civilized than we are today and hence there is a possibility that a fresh lot of new Personal Gods could arrive in the scene/worship places.
Finally, we can infer that, good and bad are the manifestations of the same thing and they co-exist in all human beings, and we cannot have them separated. In low graded life, the 'bad' stands taller, while the 'good' shorter, yet both co-exist.
