The 'Trinity' of Religious Reconciliation

Paraprakrti

1. God is all powerful
2. Evil exists (ignorance of God)
3. God desires to fulfill our (the living entities') desires. Now, there are two basic desires of the conditioned living entities:
Desire 1: to be free from evil, aka: false ego.
Desire 2: to remain in false ego conceptions (which constitutes ignorance of God).

It would appear that the "trinity of religious reconciliation" is simultaneously the duality of human (conditioned souls, in general) contradiction. Apparently the problem is not with the consitution of God, it is only due to our ignorance.

If one replies, 'if God is all powerful then He should be able to grant this contradiction', then my answer is that He does. You are simultaneously free from evil and full of false ego. So full, in fact, that you still think that evil exists as an objective fact. Furthermore if you then reply that number two of the trinity has been cancelled out, then how come you are ignorant of God?... oh wait, you desired to remain in false ego... that's right.

If number two exists only due to subjectivity to the conditioned soul then it cannot be an objective fact. "Evil" is then a matter of opinion. If you feel the distress of evil then God prescribes that you surrender how you feel to Him. Only then will you realize that evil is not an entity, but a lack of relating with God.
