Indivisible in reality, divisibility is its whole basis of action from which it seems forbidden ever to depart – ‘for its only two methods of union are either the aggregation of units or an assimilation which involves the destruction of one unit by another; and both of these methods of union are a confession of eternal division, since even the first associates rather than unifies and by its very principle admits the constant possibility and therefore the ultimate necessity dissociation, of dissolution. Both methods repose on death, one as a means and other as a condition of life.’
It means that it is due to the solidity and concreteness of material objects that the sense of separation gets firmly fixed in the mind. The only way to break this is to break the form or mold through whatever means, leading to death. In this sense, death becomes an instrument of life. But true unity should not annul diversity and the individuality.
Affectionately,
