Am I missing something simple here? At first I read the quote above

to say:

 

As A = B

So B = A

 

Where B here is the word " One " .

 

It occured to me that the first " one " I take to mean singleness or

whole, and the second " one " I take to mean self or individual.

 

I guess it suggests that ultimately, the self (individual) = the Self

(whole). Expressed this way, it seems like pretty basic Advaita.

 

I guess I'm still having trouble with what, in my concept at least,

are two different meanings of the word " one " .
