Existing Eternally

Sometimes people get frightened at the idea [reincarnation of the soul], and superstition is so strong that thinking men even believe that they are the outcome of nothing, and then, with the grandest logic, try to deduce the theory that although they have come out of zero, they will be eternal ever afterwards. 
Those that come out of zero will certainly have to go back to zero. 

Neither you, nor I nor anyone present, has come out of zero, nor will go back to zero. 
We have been existing eternally, and will exist, and there is no power under the sun or above the sun which can undo your or my existence or send us back to zero. 

- Swami Vivekananda, Jnana-Yoga, New-York
