THE ALTERNATE CYCLE OF LIFE AND THE TRIUMPH OF GOOD OVER EVIL

THE ALTERNATE CYCLE OF LIFE AND THE TRIUMPH OF GOOD OVER EVIL

The Jews are the most intelligent people in the world and Hitler's policy of their total annihilation is an illustration of the eternal conflict between the forces of the dark and the forces of light. The result had to be the way it eventually turned out to be, for truth ever triumphs despite temporary reverses faced at the hands of untruth. Often though, centuries and millenia pass before such a triumph takes place but the eventual victory is sealed in the fullness of time when the past karmic bonds are cut asunder and the forces of good released thus unto freedom from the thraldom of evil.

The world has witnessed many a conquest by the power of brute force but it has ever been the intelligent and the wise and the virtuous that have ended up on the victorious side in the final reckoning through the observance of the eternal law of Nature that allows not incongruity to last forever. This follows from the principle of symmetry and beauty, the 'sundaram' principle, which closely aligns itself with 'satyam' (truth) and 'shivam' (welfare) to govern the dynamics of human affairs.

The factors determining the course of events in the physical plane are spelt out in the psychological plane of humanity with roots even deeper in the subliminal collective consciousness where the operative laws are of a different order from the laws governing the surface mind. There events are worked out in seed and the results show up in visible form at the surface level of concrete reality, often baffling the mind of man as to why such episodes in human history must come to pass that defy apparently all rhyme or reason of culture and civilisation.

But to assume that men are rational en masse and that the same degree of civilisation subsists everywhere is to lend homogeneity to a highly heterogeneous human family with sharp differences in attitudes and attributes, culture and concept of civilisation, and even the degree of mental and moral evolution, let alone the more subtle spiritual development of a race. Such a homogeneity is a myth and human society is highly fractured along cultural lines fraught with geopolitical imperatives. These conflicting features periodically rise to prominence along the psychological fissures and give shape to catastrophic events that shake the world and change it forever. Mass evolution of the global sociopolitical and socioeconomic systems takes place through such cataclysms and human society leaps forward through desperate times of death and disaster unto an age ahead when peace reigns again with the elements lying in wait to brew up fresh conflicts.

In the current case under investigation the Jews were at the receiving end from German aggression and the Nazis were carrying out as if the executioner's role in fulfilment of the animal law of survival of the fittest. Wherefrom such animality springs is difficult to ascertain at the physical level of surface reality but it does for sure rise from a deep despicable well of the vital and psychological sheaths of consciousness. The fittest survive and so did the Jews in spite of persecution on a horrific scale, as if perdition was at hand. The Jews survived the holocaust despite the death of six million of them and the Nazis perished in and after the Second World War leaving almost no trace of their monstrous order. Good --- at least in relative terms --- won over evil and the dark night over, the light of dawn streamed on humanity once more filling the survivors of the war with a fresh impulse of life and hope and a fertile future beckoning unto the morrow.

Evil has receded for the time being but the seeds of evil have not been annihilated for they are part and parcel of this cosmic play, of this human drama enacted on the stage of this world. They are one phase of the cycle of evolution ever in dynamic tussle with their alternate phase in peace and light as they together complete the wave of evolutionary movement in an unending cycle of cosmic progression. Thus they live on in the seed form and continue to germinate in the womb of time, threatening yet another cataclysm when circumstances are propitious and the elements of destruction, the carrier instruments, the agencies of annihilation ripened to their malicious maturity.
