all residents are bad

Imported quote 19426 Therefore Kaviraja Gosvami, being attracted to Madana-mohana, he is offering his prayer, jayatam suratau pahgor. Pahgor..., pahgoḥ means lame man; one cannot walk. At least, one cannot walk very swiftly. So jayatam suratau pahgor mama manda-mater gati. He is placing himself as manda-mati. Mama manda-mater gati. Manda, this word means "bad" or "slow." So every one of us in this material world, we are all bad, because... Why bad? Now, because we accepted this material body. Just like in the prison house, all the prisoners, they are bad. Why? Because they have accepted their home in the prison house. Therefore the conclusion is they are all bad. Maybe degrees of difference, but they are all bad. Similarly, anyone who is living in this material world, beginning from Lord Brahma down to the small insect or ant, who are struggling in this material world... Manaḥ sasthanindriyani prakrti-sthani karsati [Bg 15.7]. Krsna said that "These living entities within this material world, they are My part and parcel" or "They are My sons." In another place He says, aham bija-pradaḥ pita.
