Everything must complete the circle and come back to its source.
Soul is not a force; neither is it thought. It is the manufacturer of thought, but not thought itself; it is the manufacturer of the body, but not the body...
You are only one; there is only one such Self, and that One Self is you...
When it is all One, who is there to hate, who is there to struggle with? When it is all He, with whom can you fight?
"Tat Tvam Asi" (That thou art)...
Know that every thought and word that weakens you in this world is the only evil that exists. Whatever makes men weak and fear is the only evil that should be shunned...
Stand as a rock; you are indestructible. You are the Self, the God of the universe. Say- "I am Existence Absolute, Bliss Absolute, Knowledge Absolute, I am He," and like a lion breaking its cage, and be free forever. What frightens you , what holds you down? Only ignorance and delusion; nothing else can bind you. You are the Pure One, the Ever-Blessed.
Silly fools tell you that you are sinners, and you sit down in a corner and weep. It is foolishness, wickedness, down right rascality to say that you are sinners...
Is not the whole universe you? Where is there any one that is not you? You are the Soul of this universe. You are the sun, moon, and stars. It is you that is shining everywhere. The whole universe is you? Who are you going to hate or fight?
Vivekananda (n,d.) Chapter 2.5.12: Immorality [on the perfect, eternal, all knowing Oneness...of which we are a part ... expressed in the Vedas] Complete Works. Kindle Edition
Wow! These words hit me hard as I read them before falling to sleep. They need no added interpretation.
All is well
