As we shudder at our world in turmoil, we should remember that only the material world produces horror. The world of the spirit remains serene.
The Gita explains that everything in the world is a combination of matter and spirit. Creation occurs when matter and spirit join but separately neither have a beginning or end.
The spirit is always pure. Perhaps some of us can take comfort in knowing that the spirit can be found within ourselves.
See Chapter 13 of The Gita, A New Translation of Hindu Sacred Scripture by Irina Gajjar.
