The theory of the Vedanta, therefore, comes to this, that you and I and everything in the universe are that Absolute, not parts, but the whole.
You are the whole of that Absolute, and so are all others, because the idea of part cannot come into it. These divisions, these limitations, are only apparent, not in the thing itself.
I am complete and perfect, and I was never bound, boldly preaches the Vedanta.
If you think you are bound, bound you will remain; if you know that you are free, free you are.
Thus the end and aim of this philosophy is to let us know that we have been free always, and shall remain free for ever.
We never change, we never die, and we are never born.
