Good’ & ‘Bad’ are poisons to the mind.

“Darkness comes from the mind possessive of what's good… the mind source is already good…

Others faults, no matter how great they are, can’t take us into hell. But our faults can drag us all the way down. When you see them, get rid of them immediately, otherwise you’ll never be rid of them…

The strong fear of bad is a great fault, wanting what’s good, without stop is the cause of suffering.

‘Good’ & ‘bad’ are poisons to the mind,

like foods that inflame a high fever.

Desire for good, when it’s great,

drags the mind into turbulent thought

until the mind gets inflated with evil,

and all its defilements proliferate.

The greater the error, the more they flourish,

taking one further & further away

from the genuine Dhamma.”
