These, O Uddhava, are the answers to the questions you inquired about. I have elucidated them all. But why should one describe in detail the characteristics of good and bad qualities, when thinking about good and bad always means failing to see the true quality?
There is no need for a more elaborate description of these good and bad qualities, for constantly seeing good and bad is in itself a bad quality. The best quality is to transcend material good and bad.
The Supreme Lord Krishna further tells us:
When this knowledge, which dispels the darkness of ignorance, awakens in the being (the incarnate spiritual being or human being), then everything is revealed to him, as if by a rising sun.
When you know the truth, you will understand that all beings are an integral part of Me, that they live in Me, and belong to Me.
The first-class person is one who takes refuge in Me in complete surrender, and who, renouncing all forms of material pursuits, lives according to My teachings.
Because I desire human beings to attain perfection, I have presented three paths of elevation: the path of knowledge, the path of action, and the path of devotion. Besides these three, there is absolutely no other means of elevation.
Those who earnestly follow the methods of attaining Me, which I have personally taught, free themselves from illusion, and upon reaching My personal abode, they fully understand the Absolute Truth.
According to their surrender to Me, I reward them in proportion.
He who knows the absolute nature of My advent and My actions will no longer need to be reborn in the material universe. Leaving his body, he enters My eternal kingdom.
My sovereign abode is a spiritual and absolute realm from which there is no return to this material world. Whoever attains supreme perfection, engaged in serving Me personally with devotion in this eternal abode, attains the highest perfection of human life and need no longer return to this world where suffering reigns.
Listen to My words, for I instruct you for your own good.
