What we call as sin and evil are simply movements of nature and tendencies that were needed in the early or primitive stages of evolution. Persisting beyond their stage they seem sinful to a little more developed humanity indicating that now they must be discarded. However the emergence of the mind adds a new twist to these tendencies. It adds to the instinctive movements appropriate to an animal nature this aspect of conscious deception and selfish gain turning it into evil. Instead of sinning in public we cherish them in secret and indulge in hypocrisy and pretensions by throwing a cover of goodness, a facade of falsehood over it. But nothing is hidden to the Divine eye that sees all. However instead of condemning and punishing He treats humanity with supreme compassion helping us to evolve yet further towards a point where sin and evil leave us completely. We too must therefore not hate the sinner but see them as struggling within themselves, caught in the animal past while striving to evolve the proper and full human. Evil has to be seen as a kind of semi-arrested evolution, an abortive effort of Nature at creating a human which ends badly, or is caught half-way through in a twisted form and distorted shape of humanity. It is also not to be despised but either helped to change or else, if it is aborted or beyond change because it resists and refuses persistently, then taken out of existence.
In other words sin and evil are evolutionary deviations or sidetracks in man’s long winding upward path, not the origin or the end of the journey.
