Why do we have EVIL in the world


The EVIL believes that the image in the mirror is his true self where as it is just an impression of his body, an illusion.  He is not what his eyes SEE and what his mind BELIEVES.
Broadly speaking, in nature, all manifested things have two sides - everything exists in pair of opposites.  This is called the Principle of Polarity*.  It is one of the seven Hermetic Principles.  There is One Truth and it has two ends i.e, two extremes.  Actually both are same but on different degrees.  For example 'cold' and 'hot' are both temperatures but their degrees are different.
In actual there is no such thing as EVIL.  In nature only truth exists.  Truth means 'being'.  anything in its actual form is truth.  Anything different from actual is untruth.  God is said to be the ultimate Truth and anything that we 'percieve' as separate or different from God is untruth.  All matter around us is made up of energy, we know as 'consciousness'.  It exists in varying degrees, the denser is the hardest one.
There are no absolutes at all.  If there is 'this' then there is 'that'.  If there is 'Light' then there is 'darkness'.   When we try to understand it deeply there is no such thing as darkness.   'Darkness' actually means 'absence of light'.  For example, when moon comes between earth and sun we experience night even though sun is always shining bright in the sky.  Any 'obstruction' coming in the path of light reflects darkness on the opposite side of that obstruction.  We have 'day' followed by 'night'. 
Due to the factor called 'time' everything manifest in this world is undergoing change all the time.  If there is construction, then there is wear & tear and  after sometime there is destruction due to time factor.  In fact, 'change' is the only thing on earth that is constant. 
Look at our own self.  How we changed from 'baby to adult' and are still changing.  Who is that 'I' within us that never changes.  That is our SOURCE.  That is God.  That is the Divine Life Force Energy that permeates this whole universe.  Many amongst us are 'aware' of something in us that makes us feel alive.  That is also called our consciousness.  When we are 'aware' of this 'presence' within us, we are said to be connected to our source within.  This is called the state of soul/ spirit consciousness.  We understand that we are not separate from our Creator.  Pots may look different but they are made up of the same clay.  When we are connected to our inner self, we tend to make less mistakes and act rationally.  During acts of meditation, we try to connect to ourselves, feel that Oneness with the Creator, our Source.
Evil are those who are totally disconnected from their divinity within.  Their ego called as body consciousness blinds their intellect and mind.  They think they are separate from the others and vice versa.  Thus they tend to move towards irrational and wrong actions.  When we put many blankets over a source of light, say a bulb, it becomes pitch dark and risky.  Now if we were to compare that bulb to our own inner divinity.  The good people are those who are connected to their inherent divinity...goodness.  The higher the connectedness, the higher the vibrations of goodness.  The opposite side is disconnectedness, lower vibration and badness.
When we constrict our mind and think only about our own self --my family, my job, my country etc, we are limiting ourselves.  For an evil person, there is nothing beyond themselves. We need to expand our mind.  The same mind can expand and using its power of imagination and can imagine the infinity of the sky and depth of the ocean.  Obviously such a thinker is bigger than the sky or ocean.  Container is always 'bigger' than the amount of water it can hold. 
Raising our vibration by lifting our heart, mind and passion higher than our sense of limitation will change our viewpoint.  When we view our life from a horizontal viewpoint it is far more limiting than if we looked at that same life from a vertical viewpoint. Imagine looking at the road standing under a tree or from the tree top. From ground level/ lower level, we see one thing at a time whereas from higher level we can even see and understand the sequence of events.  Connecting to our SELF takes us to lofty heights and makes our thinking crystal clear.  It makes us better human beings.  Light of 'knowledge'(I am Soul) removes the darkness of 'ignorance'(I am body) from our hearts and washes away the wickedness within.  Question is 'Do we want to do the necessary work'?

 * The Principle of Polarity states Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.”
