To go back to Brahman from which we have been projected is the great struggle of life.
Whether people know it or not does not matter.
In the universe, whatever we see of motion, or struggles in mineral or plants or animals is an effort to come back to the centre and be at rest.
There was an equilibrium, and that has been destroyed; and all parts and atoms and molecules are struggling to find their lost equilibrium again.
In this struggle they are combining and re-forming, giving rise to all the wonderful phenomena of nature. All struggles and competitions in animal life, plant life, and everywhere else, all social struggles and wars are but expressions of that eternal struggle to get back to that equilibrium.
- Swami Vivekananda, Jnana-Yoga
