There is no one who is completely healthy or completely sick it is always a matter of being more sick or less sick. It is not a question of right versus wrong it is always a question of greater wrong versus lesser wrong. However, in this world, there is nothing like an absolutely right end or absolutely right means. It is fine to say that right ends cannot be achieved without right means. The question of right means, which Gandhi talks about so much, deserves careful consideration. The coming of Atlee into power in Britain after the war made a big difference. Even among the British – if Churchill had been in power and Gandhi had to deal with him, it would have been very difficult to win India’s independence. Fortunately for him, India was ruled by a very liberal community – the British – not by Hitler. Gandhi would know what it is to fight with a colossus of evil if he had fought against a government run by Adolph Hitler. Ordinary good cannot defeat an evil that is colossal. Gandhi would be no match for them they could crush him in moments. The Kauravas are no ordinary evil-doers – they are extraordinarily evil. The fighting tactics which Krishna uses are nothing compared to those used in the war of Mahabharat by the other side, who are capable of doing anything.
It is not a simple choice between good and evil. SPIRITUALISM, RELIGION AND POLITICS The choice before Krishna is between lesser evil and greater evil.
