The text is an excerpt from Volume 7 of the "Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda." It begins with a copyright notice and outlines the contents of the volume, which includes inspired talks, dialogues, translations, notes from lectures, and letters. On August 6, 1895, Vivekananda discusses the philosophical relationship between the self ("I") and the external world ("you"). He asserts that both concepts are interdependent, and both thought and matter are manifestations of a singular reality known as the Atman or real Self. He describes existence as a unity that expresses itself as both mind and matter, bound by laws yet inherently free. Vivekananda introduces the concepts of Nivritti (the movement away from attachment) and Pravritti (the material forces driving individuals into worldly affairs). He claims that moral actions are those that liberate us from material bondage, emphasizing the cyclical nature of existence and the need for spiritual liberation (Mukti). He reflects on the nature of good and evil, suggesting they are intertwined, and that happiness is a zero-sum game where one person's joy can come at the expense of another's sorrow. True bliss exists beyond the material realm and does not require the sacrifice of others. The discussion serves as a philosophical exploration of existence, morality, and the pursuit of spiritual freedom.
