These are what Vedanta has not to give. No book. No man to be singled out from the rest of mankind --"You are worms, and we are the Lord God!"-- none of that.
If you are the Lord God, I also am the Lord God.
So Vedanta knows no sin. There are mistakes but no sin; and in the long run everything is going to be all right.
No Satan -- none of this nonsense. Vedanta believes in only one sin, only one in the world, and it is this: the moment you think you are a sinner or anybody is a sinner, that is sin.
