This, as I understand it, is the only REAL definition of evil. What the world usually calls evil pertains to that which is non-lasting, and which, from our small point of view is "real", nevertheless is non-lasting. The only REAL part of us is not affected in any way by the world's evil. To quote the source:
 
Collected Writings VOLUME VIII
October, 1887
 
110 BLAVATSKY: COLLECTED WRITINGS
 
THE ORIGIN OF EVIL
[Lucifer, Vol. I, No. 2, October, 1887, pp. 109-119]
The problem of the origin of evil can be philosophically approached only ifthe archaic Indian formula is taken as the basis of the argument. Ancient wisdom alone solves the presence of the universal fiend in a satisfactory way It attributes the birth of Kosmos and the evolution of life to the breaking asunder of primordial, manifested UNITY, into plurality, or the great illusion of form. HOMOGENEITY having transformed itself into Heterogeneity, contrasts have naturally been created: hence sprang what we call EVIL, which thenceforward reigned supreme in this “Vale of Tears.”

Hello,

I want to do some research. Can someone point to me references 
where HPB mentioned the source of evil for this planet and/or solar 
system?

Much appreciated,
