All Things Are One

When I was first studying these things, I was terribly bothered by how on earth I was going to see this multiple differentiated world as a unity. The sages keep saying all things are one, and they all look to me so different. So they say would say difference, that identity, identity, that difference. And so this doesn't mean quite is exactly the same as. It means rather is in relation to, or goes with, necessarily involves. This necessarily involves identity, identity necessarily involves difference.
