so if god is the cause of all causes then is god the cause of the negativity in humans also there are two different points over here see god is the cause of all causes he is not the cause of all effects there is a difference that means say if there is a light over here and I put my hand over here now if my hand is over here then the shadow will be formed over here now is the shadow caused by that light we could say yes and no at one level no because the light is only giving illumination but because this object is coming in between and that object is what is causing the shadow so the light is not the cause of the darkness but without the light we would not have that conception of darkness because everything would be totally dark so in that sense without god nothing would be possible so even negativity would not exist but the conception of negativity as contrasted with positivity that exists because people turn away from god so to the extent we turn towards the light we see light to the extent we turn away from the light we see shadow so similarly the negativity that is present in people is because of their disconnection with god and by this disconnection with god the more they are disconnected the more the negativity comes within them and the negativity flows out from them and the more we become connected with god the more positivity will come within us
