The essential inquiry
If good is attributed to God and evil or the bad is segregated, doesn't that create a boundary? How can something be absolute infinity if it excludes anything?
Real Infinity vs. Assumed Infinity: Does God Have Boundaries?
Three-stage contemplation path
From question to scriptural grounding
Move through three lenses in order: the question, Hindu perspectives, and sacred references.
Hindu perspectives
The Integration of Opposites: In Hinduism, the divine encompasses both creation and destruction, order (rita) and chaos, benevolence and terror. This is personified in deities like Shiva or Kali who transcend conventional morality.
Good, Evil, and Maya: What we perceive as bad or evil is not an independent anti-God boundary; rather, it is viewed as a distortion, a lower state of consciousness, or the play of Maya (illusion). Because the infinite includes the potential for its own concealment, nothing lies outside its scope.
Sacred references
Mrityusca yasya amritam yasya kasya (Whose shadow is immortality, whose shadow is death).
Brahman is all—that which is manifest, and that which is unmanifest, the good and the apparent bad.
Hold these perspectives not as the end of inquiry, but as a doorway into deeper contemplation.
