So far the idea is, that it is all One Infinite Being, that is the Real Individuality, when there is no more division, no more parts and parcels, no more such low and illusory ideas. And yet, in and through every part of this little individuality is shining that Infinite, the Real Individuality. Everything is a manifestation of the _Âtman_. How to reach to that? _Yajnavalkya_ told us in the beginning that--“This _Âtman_ is first to be heard, then to be reasoned, then to be meditated upon.” Thus far he has spoken about the Self, the _Âtman_, as being the essence of everything in this universe. Then reasoning on the Infinite nature of that Self and the finite nature of the human mind he comes to the conclusion that it is impossible for the finite mind to know the Knower of all--the Self. What is to be done then if we cannot know the Self? _Yajnavalkya_ tells _Maitreyi_ that It can be realized, although It cannot be known, and he enters upon a discourse as to how It is to be meditated upon. This universe is helpful to every being and every being is also helping this universe, for they are both part and parcel of each other, the development of the one helps the development of the other; but to the _Âtman_, the self-effulgent One, nothing can be helpful because It is perfect and infinite. All that is bliss, even in the lowest sense, is but the reflection of It. All that is good is the reflection of that _Âtman_, and when that reflection is less clear it is called evil. When the _Âtman_ is less manifested it is called darkness--evil, and when it is more manifested it is called light--goodness. That is all. This good and evil are only a question of degree, the _Âtman_ more manifested or less manifested. Just take the example of our own lives. How many things we see in our childhood which we think to be good, but which really are evil, and how many things seem to be evil which are good? How our ideas change! How an idea becomes higher and higher! What we thought very good at one time, we do not think so good now. Thus good and evil depend on the development of our minds, and do not exist objectively. The difference is only in the degree. All is a manifestation of that _Âtman_; It is being manifested in everything, only when the manifestation is very poor we call it evil, and when it is clearer we call it good. That _Âtman_ Itself is beyond both good and evil. So everything that is in the universe is first to be meditated upon as all good, because it is a manifestation of that perfect One. He is neither evil nor good; He is perfect and the perfect can be only one. The good can be many, and the evil many, there will be degrees of variation between the good and the evil; but the perfect is only one, and that perfect One when seen through certain covering we call different degrees of good, and when seen through other covering we call evil. Our ideas of good and evil as two distinct things are mere superstition. There is only more good and less good and
