Does any book actually address this satisfactorily?
I have read the Bhagavad Gita and I was moved by the part on bhakti but I can't bring myself to believe in it because why would Krishna make a world where so much evil and pain exists if he loves all beings? The "evil doesn't exist" from Christians and Neoplatonists is not convincing in the slightest and Hinduism isn't much better when it says it's an illusion.
Can this be solved in any other way than by accepting an acosmic doctrine of hard dualism?
