聽神談【如何體會「一體」的更大畫面與真相？】
如果你與某樣東西結合在一起很長的時間，在某些時候，你根本就不會注意到還有一個「你」。「你」是個分別的存在體的觀念，會逐漸消失。
在一起很久的人們常會有這種經驗。他們會開始失去他們個別的身份。這到某個程度是美妙的。然而，當無止境地體驗合一時，其美妙就消失了，因為當缺少了分離時，合一就什麼沒什麼了。它不再是狂喜的體驗，而像是一種虛空(void)。當分離不曾存在時，一體即空無。
那就是我為何給人靈感寫出「在你們的親密相聚中，保留一些空間吧。」「飲自一個盛滿的杯，但不飲字同一個杯。」「支撐琵琶結構的琴柱是分開的，而琵琶的各弦線是隔開的，雖然它們顫動出同一首樂曲。」（註：出自紀伯倫的散文《先知》)
所有的人生都是一個「體驗合一與分離、分離與合一」的過程。這正是生命的節奏。確實如此，這正是創造生命本身的節奏。
我要再次對你們說：生命是個循環的迴圈，在其中的每樣事物也都一樣 (Life is a cycle, as is everything in it.)。這循環不斷地來回。合在一起，分開，結合在一起，分開。
即使當一個東西是分開的時候，它也永遠是在一起的，因為它無法真的分開，而只是變得更大了。所以，即使當一個東西看起來是分開的（apart）時，它仍是一體的一部分（a part），那意謂著它根本不是分開的。
摘自《與神合一》第15章
If you are united with something for a longtime, you will at some point cease to notice that there is a "you" at all. The idea of "you" as a separate entity will gradually disappear.
People who have been together for a very long time often experience this. They begin to lose their individual identity. This is one-derfuI—to a point. Yet the wonder of it disappears when the Unity is experienced without end, because Unity in the absence of Disunity is nothing. It is not experienced as ecstasy but as a void. In the absence of any separation, ever Oneness is noneness.
That is why I have inspired it to be written: Let there be spaces in your togetherness. Drink from a full cup but not from the same cup. The pillars that support a structure stand apart, and the strings of the lute are separate, though they quiver with the same music.
All of life is a process of experiencing Unity and separation, Unity and separation. This is the very rhythm of life. Indeed, this is the rhythm that creates Life Itself.
I say to you again: Life is a cycle, as is everything in it. The cycle is to and fro, to and fro. Together apart. Together, apart.
Even when a thing is apart, it is always together for it cannot truly separate, but only get larger. Therefore, even when a thing appears to be apart, it is still a part, which means it is not apart at all.
