I never said Gandhi followed any false nature. Good or Evil is OUR
perception and NOT the truth. I've had my head examined and not been
found wanting. Logic is the dictate. We 'perceive' good and evil
like we perceive the illusion of a mirage. The wavy lines of heat
rising does NOT constitute a pool of water. How easily we humans are
deceived. The Will of God is beyond our understanding but it is not
beyond our understanding to realise that the details of it are beyond
our understanding. God does what God wills, we are simply agents;
otherwise, we are separate entities and there is disunity and dischord
and inharmony and no all-wise entity would allow such a ridiculous
thing to spoil that which has been created with total wisdom.
