> Although God exists everywhere, He is not manifested everywhere. This is 
my observation. 
Let me tell you a story, rather briefly, often repeated by Sri Ramakrishna 
Once a sage told his disciples that God existed everywhere 
Next day, when they were going to take bath in a river, 
they saw the Temple Elephant being rided upon by the mahout 
The mahout saids, "Run away all of you, the elephant has gone mad!" 
One disciple did not run in the faith that God was in the elephant too. 
The elephant threw aside the disciple and ran through the streets 
The disciple was injured heavily and the others took him to the sage 
The sage admonished the disciple saying, 
"You fool!  God is everywhere.  But, He is manifest more in the man than in 
the elephant. 
You must have heeded to the advice of the mahout who knew his elephant 
intimately!" 
 
> I was completely disgusted with evil and ran to its opposite, 
> the only good that can come out of it is to make us sick enough never to 
think about going there. 
You have truly described the nether regions of human awareness 
 
> Moral judgments are the best thing about being human. 
> By constantly rejecting evil and choosing good, 
> we embody sat-cit-ananda into ourselves, becoming truly Divine. 
You have truly stated that using discrimination we can become Divine 
 
> You see, that's what evil does, disturbs your peace 
Perfect.  The way you jotted down your points, 
made me burst into uncontrollable laughter. 
 
Thanks and kind regards
