>The Brahma Sutras explain that Brahman cannot be charged with causing evil since He is the impartial cause like rain
Which makes it a machine without will or love. This is not the Good. Which means our soul has no reason seek that for it does not pull at our hearts. Disgusting.
You can't impartially cause something not meant to be. Like Gnosticism your ontology falls apart at the root.

No just a midwit.
A warrior is fulfilled fighting not in 'having fought' (beyond victory), an artist is fulfilled creating not having created (beyond the ecstasy of completion), a gardener is fulfilled in tending to his growth. Ruling is not fulfilling for a warrior, an artist upon completing a work either starts something else (sometimes without having finished the previous one) or feel an inner flow to pour out beauty and anxiety to not have a clear idea to express, and a farmer is nothing in winter.

OH and favorite author is Plato.
Favorite book? Not sure, why not Children of Hurin for fiction and Phaedrus for myth and philosophy. If I ever write something it would be to write my favorite text, since the Ancients have been fragmented like Dionysus.
Currently reading Proclus Commentary on Plato's Parmenides.
