To constantly see good and bad is itself a bad quality

In SB 11.19.40/45 Krishna says:
...to constantly see good and bad is itself a bad quality. The best quality is to transcend material good and evil.
I post this because many "devotional" articles, forums posts etc are usually falling into this trap.

This is the spiritual vision. SB 4.22.14, 6.17.30, 9.19.20, 10.87.40, 11.7.40, 11.11.16-17, 11.28.4.However: "O sinless Uddhava, in order to understand what is proper in life one must evaluate a given object within its particular category. Thus, in analyzing religious principles one must consider purity and impurity. Similarly, in ones ordinary dealings one must distinguish between good and bad, and to insure ones physical survival one must recognize that which is auspicious and inauspicious." (SB 11.21.3)

one who only pretends not to see the good or bad qualities of this world in order to be considered advanced - is merely deluding himself and others.user [154] · 2008-06-06

Haribolo Abhiramji, been active on Beliefnets Hinduism forums to stop one advaita propagandist. Adi Sankara himself helped. ;) In his Sariraka bhasya to Vs. 1.3.42-43, 4.4.17-21 he actually maintains that there is always a difference between a jiva and the Lord. Now the advaita preacher seems stumped. Lets see for how long time.user [19] · 2008-06-08
