The Only real evil is from man
  
    "...The real evil proceeds from human 
intelligence and its origin rests entirely 
with reasoning man who dissociates himself 
from Nature.  Humanity then alone is the 
true source of evil.  Evil is the 
exaggeration of good, the progeny of 
human selfishness and greediness. Think 
profoundly and you will find that save 
death - which is no evil but a necessary 
law, and accidents which will always find 
their reward in a future life - the 
_origin_ of every evil whether small or 
great is in human action, in man whose 
intelligence makes him the one free agent 
in Nature.  It is not nature that creates 
diseases, but man.... Food, sexual 
relations, drink, are all natural 
necessities of life;  yet excess in them 
brings on disease, misery, suffering, 
mental and physical, and the latter are 
transmitted as the greatest evils to 
future generations, the progeny of 
the culprits."  
                   - "The Mahatma Letters," p. 57, TUP
