Soohee, Fifth Mehl:
God covers the many shortcomings of His slaves.
Granting His Mercy, God makes them His own. ||1||
You emancipate Your humble servant,
and rescue him from the noose of the world, which is just a dream. ||1||Pause||
Even huge mountains of sin and corruption
are removed in an instant by the Merciful Lord. ||2||
Sorrow, disease and the most terrible calamities
are removed by meditating on the Naam, the Name of the Lord. ||3||
Bestowing His Glance of Grace, He attaches us to the hem of His robe.
Grasping the Lord's Feet, O Nanak, we enter His Sanctuary. ||4||22||28||

[S|kH]

This begs the question...

How can evil exist if God is 'Benevolent' ?

Let's debate it. I'll take the side of God is not benevolent.

You go first, and answer the question. =)

[vijaydeep Singh]

Gurfateh

Thing which may behold evil may have soon thing good for us from God we understand later ,say 9/11 was good as we are aweaken and will not let terrorist have nukes and will debar them from bigger attack in future.

 

[devinesanative]

God was benevolent for those who conspired 9/11 , and was not benevolent for those who were victims .


Who , knows that the history may have repeated ...

Those who were victims might have done the same thing in the Past , the people who conspired the attack were victims . ?????

Now , the second option , If you believe that there is no past life , then its the simple thing Survival of the fittest.
