what does "beyond good and evil'' mean in regard to non duality
Non duality pandits often say that reality is nondual, absolutely beyond good and evil. Have you wondered what that means ? How about killing someone ? Will you do it for the sake of going beyond good and evil (putting your money where your (mouth) theories are) ? Do you know what will stop you from doing it ? Conscience if you are a good person. Life was meant to be good but now there are so many crimes committed everyday, which is all unnatural.
The idea behind nonduality is that good people become even better by embracing evil (or not judging evil). That is all. But if you become evil, you will be far away from the truth with one exception. That exception is that if you absolutely do not mind what you did to someone to be done to you, then you can even torture someone with fire. Then you must face the fire yourself without objection but with some obvious reactions. But even this is not quite correct because you may be a stronger person and hence able to face the fire. So the fire should be hotter for you. Then it is okay.
