AMAR VANI
122 Be Cautious against Evil
Evil is evil, whether it is small or great. It is wrong to say about any evil that it is small, insignificant and therefore negligible. Evil always germinates in the tiny seed form, but in course of time it sprouts forth, grows, bears fruits and becomes a tree, and covers everything. Then you have to put in hard labour and spend much time in order to root it out. Like a parasite creeper it spreads very quickly and saps away all the juice of your spiritual development. Evil should never be trusted. Always keep yourself scanning. See in what way, in what form and when and how an evil crept into you. As soon as you discover any evil germinating in your heart, root it out, and swear never to allow any evil to come in contact with you.
