Paul Brunton Philosophic Foundation homepage > Notebooks of Paul Brunton



Philosophy will not disregard the bad in others, and the sin in ourselves, but having seen them clearly it does not react negatively in useless condemnation. Instead, it reacts constructively in trying to realize the meaning of evil, the consequence of sin, and then proceeds to cultivate the opposite quality, the good of that particular evil--as honesty where there is dishonesty and so on.
