These words of Master's often returned inspiringly to my mind.
The supposedly evil thing becomes really a good thing a necessary means to the fulfillment of the divine plan, either in the earthly progress of humanity or in the future life; or if the more mystical types of religion provide the starting point, where individuality itself is felt to be an illusion, a factor in the self-realization of the Absolute.
