Unity in Oneness; Unending Mystery

Imagine, if you will, an infinite expanse, a vast ocean of possibilities stretching endlessly in every direction. Within this boundless sea, countless currents swirl and eddy, each unique yet part of a greater flow. Now, picture a single drop infinitely small yet infinitely significant. This drop is Oneness, but then so is the rest of the ocean. The drop is invisible, but more valuable than all the gold in the world to a man dying in the desert.

One is profound because it defies understanding, uniqueness only through weaker allegories like the one above. One is unique because amidst the chaos of infinity, it stands as singular singularity. Out of the myriad forms and faces of existence, one emerges; the One that divides all and against which all else is measured.

But what does this mean? How can something so infinitesimally small and singular hold such monumental importance? The simple answer is that all is built out of Oneness, and Oneness is in all. Let us explore this enigma that sits at the core of all being. For if we are to understand Oneness, we must first grapple with its contradictions. We need to understand that all these forms are merely reflections or expressions of Oneness; waves are expressions of water, as masses of droplets.
