Gurudev, do you believe in evil?

Question - Gurudev, do you believe in evil?

Gurudev Sri Sri - I don't believe in evil but I know that evil is the shadow of lack of goodness. It is an absence of goodness, absence of love, and absence of light. In India we believe in six types of evil - pride, greed, arrogance, jealously, anger and lust. Any of these distortions of love, or lack of knowledge, lack of wisdom can destroy one's life.
