He who knows the Bliss of Brahman does not distress himself with the thought, “Why did I not do what is good? Why did I do what is evil?” Whoever knows this bliss regards both of these as Atman (self, soul), indeed he cherishes both as Atman. Upanishads (circa 800 – 200 B.C.E.)
Whoever sees all beings in the soul and the soul in all beings… What delusion or sorrow is there for one who sees unity? It has filled all. It is radiant, incorporeal, invulnerable… Wise, intelligent, encompassing, self-existent, It organizes objects throughout eternity. Upanishads (circa 800 – 200 B.C.E.)
Then he realized, I indeed, I am this creation, for I have poured it forth from myself. In that way he became this creation. Verily, he who knows this becomes in this creation a creator. Upanishads (circa 800 – 200 B.C.E.)
I am this world and I eat this world. Who knows this, knows. Upanishads (circa 800 – 200 B.C.E.)

The whole world belongs to Asga Ya Galun Lati, the Great Spirit. Cherokee Adage
