Namaste Eric as I said before I need to read the whole link you sent. This is part of what I read;

In the form of anger, passion, greed, or stubbornness one sees evil, and also in the form of deceit and treachery. But the root of evil is one, and that is selfishness. In one person's heart the evil is perhaps manifest on the surface, in another person it is in the depth.

There is a saying in the East, 'Do not invoke the name of Satan or he will rise from his grave.' An inconsiderate or tactless person always falls into the error of awakening this evil even if it is asleep, for he does not know the music of life. In order to live in the world one should become a musician of life. Every person therein is a note, and the one who feels this way has an instrument before him: the whole world is an instrument upon which a symphony is to be played.

...”An inconsiderate tactless person always falls into the error of awakening this evil even if it is asleep.”
Sometimes we have said nothing yet an evil person will attack us anyhow. Why is that? And how are we to take the blame and have them attack us with the intention of destroying us or abusing us?

Then the Master goes on to say;

Evil may be likened to fire. The nature of fire is to destroy everything that comes into its fold. The power of evil is as great as the power of fire, and at the same time evil is as weak as fire, for fire does not endure, and so evil does not last. As fire destroys itself, so evil is its own destruction. Why is it said, 'Do not resist evil?' Because resistance gives life to evil, non-resistance lets it burn itself out.

If we did not resist the evil of Adolph Hitler the war would have even been worst when it reached our shores. But we anticipated a psychopath and had no choice but to resist him and put an end to his heartless murder and destruction.
