Some teachings talk about 'the absolute' and 'the relative', as if they were two different things. This is a mistake. More properly, we should talk about the 'oneness of Oneness' and the 'oneness of Two-ness.'

If we translate this statement into theistic language, it means that God's love really does stretch from one end of the universe to the other, that this Presencealso called Loveexists not in some special state that reconfigures this world of duality into something more spiritual, but actually is duality itself!

Let us translate again: This world, with its pain, its serious anguish, and even its unfairness, is also filled with benevolence. You need not go anywhere but here. The more you are here, the more you are within God and God is within you.
