Good And Evil ~ A Parable ~

  This essay is based on a conversation with my friend Pramod-Menon who teaches English at Kodai International School at Kodaikanal TamilNadu India ~ I think I should first introduce Pramod and Kodaikanal ~

  Pramod was a legendary child who had read “The Complete Collected Works Of Shakespeare” before he was 12 or 13 years age ~ I think that says enough ~ A biblophile of the highest order ~ I can only vaguely guess the vast erudition my friend must have accumulated in his Life ~ Pramod is now 50 years old ~ Educated at St. Stephens Delhi and Kerala University he later went on to do a PhD in Wisconsin under the illustrious scholar Prof. Ihab Hasan ~ He dropped out of academics just when all was about to be over, took up teaching in Public Schools and landed up in Kodai International School ~ We were friends from college days ~ I used to beam with Infinite-Apocalyptic Mania and we have had very interesting conversational sessions ~ The Pundit with. The Lunatic so to say!!

  Kodaikanal is a hill-station resort developed by the British Rulers in India during the colonial days to spend their terrible Dravidian Summers in a cool location ~ It is a beautiful misty town encased in the Western Ghats ~ a lake, an extraordinary assortment of flora and fauna, a botanical garden and innumerable public schools for the rich and hotels for the tourists ~ that is the general landscape ~

  A few years ago I visited Kodaikanal on a holiday with my parents ~ I went to meet my friend at his quarters ~ We were meeting after many years and were talking randomly as always ~ Derrida to Nietzsche, Upanishads to Patanljali to deconstruction ~ I was singing bits of Raagas elucidating and so on ~ In between in one of the silences my friend said, “A very bright student asked me a question ~ ‘If as You Say God Is Omnipresent Omnipotent Omniscient, why do you ask people to refrain from certain deeds declared Evil ~ All That Is God Too’” ~ I said “superb question very genuine” ~ I had pondered on this indefinitely for many years and knew clearly why one refrained from evil but could find no instant answer that was satisfactory ~ I said good-night and soon parted from my friend ~ Next day I told him "I will answer the student’s great question" and said, “Every moment God Is Infinitely Crucified By Human Ignorance ~ When You Do Evil To Another You Crucify God More ~ Pierce A new nail right into one of His Infinite Eyes ~ When You Do a Little Good or Attempt to do it You soothe God a little ~ You sponge the blood gently out of one of His Infinite Wounds Inflicted by Ignorance [Evil] ~ The Choice is clearly Your Own ~ Further When God Finally Arrives At The Apocalypse He will Surely Forgive You For All The Nails You Pierced On Him ~ But whether You will be able to get rid of the immense Guilt you have accumulated in front Of God’s Love is an open question that closes this parable”

  I guess my friend must have told this to his student ~

a singular  and  gifted attempt  to  comprehend  the message  of  the  cross and  may be  the  guilt  would  be wiped  away  in  forgiveness

  And you can expect many security products for security purpose includes: - smoke cloak, CCTV systems, access
control, security systems, and still have back to base alarm
monitoring. This means your alarm system will regularly be monitored by security experts, round
the clock, as well as seven days a week.
Home security renters It's an excellent all day-through the night
security system which is energy efficient and highly versatile.


Home video surveillance records the CCTV footage of one's homes, if you will discover considerable or insignificant incidents
at your property. A wireless outdoor home security camera would be the very best alternative.
