Reality, or the One Light Which Is,
Cannot be realised, i.e. known,
as long as it is seen as plural.
Plurality nevertheless can be real,
therefore -- and thankfully -- Reality is never far.
The "Me" which we often take to be singular, is not.
The "Me" implies a "not-Me",
it is therefore inherently dual, i.e. plural.
The "Me" cannot stand in the way of anyone,
for to whom can the "Me" belong?
The "Me" has no agency in singularity,
for singularity knows no other to affect it.
And just as the face is seen by facing tranquil water,
so can the "Me" be seen by facing quiet contemplation.
It is only in the seeing of the "Me"
that the "non-Me" can be known.
The "Me-not-Me" is singular only.
but it is known by no Me, nor by non-Me,
it is known by both and neither.
For true knowledge already is,
as Reality, or the One Light Which Is.
