In the universe, there is no good, no evil. Ask instead, ‘To whom is good, and to whom is evil?’ The self, the ‘I,’ the ‘me,’ the one who wants to define good, the one who wants to define evil — he is evil, because he does not exist. Spirituality is giving the evil something right to do. If you do not give the evil the right thing to do, it will pick something else, making itself feel relevant, whereas the fact is that it has zero relevance. Work to remove yourself. That's your task.

Acharya Prashant: Do not ask, 'What is good, what is evil?' You must ask, 'To whom is good and to whom is evil?' In just asking, what is good and what is evil; you are keeping yourself safe, you're putting the spotlight on good anywhere, and that enables you to roam and lurk safely in your darkness.
'To whom is good, to whom is evil?'
If there is someone to whom something is evil, that 'someone' is evil. And if there is someone to whom something is good, that 'someone' again is evil.
In the universe, there is no good, no evil. The only evil is the perceiver of the universe, the one who takes himself as separate, the one who feels that he has come to the universe and would one day depart from the universe, he is evil.
