Good Must Not Outweigh Evil

232.09Question: What kind of conflict exists within a person?

Answer: It is a constant one because a person is created from two desires: egoistic and altruistic. However a true human being is one in whom there is a constant inner struggle between good and evil, one who deliberately pits their good against the evil.

Evil constantly rises up, surging upward, wanting everything for itself, and more. A person, if they wish to engage in self-correction, continually cultivates good within oneself, and remains constantly engaged in this inner struggle.

Question: So the evil within me, egoism, is always there; it is my nature?

Answer: Yes. And you ask the Creator to give you a good nature as well so that you can balance these two natures within you! You might say: “I ask the Creator to erase this evil nature from me.” No! No, that is not wise. Rather, ask that you be given a good nature, and that these two natures exist within you in balance, not one greater than the other, and not that the positive outweighs the negative.

The middle line between them is a wonderful state! I constantly remain in this balance. I stand on two legs above them. Only then can I fully, absolutely fully, feel both the minus and the plus, and all of nature is beneath me.

Question: So a person who contains both within him, his own nature and the nature of the Creator? Is that a harmonious person?

Answer: Of course! Then such a person is called Adam, similar to the Creator, because their inner quality, the one opposite to the Creator, also becomes similar to the Creator.
