<!--QuoteBegin-Ashok Kumar+Jan 25 2005, 03:07 AM-->QUOTE(Ashok Kumar @ Jan 25 2005, 03:07 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> Let me add the mathematics bit of 'unity' and 'multiplicity'.

Here one wonders whether the real number set is merely a collection of its elements (which can't all be listed), or there is more to it. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It is MORE than a simple collection. I can use a fruit as an analogy. A fruit is a collection of seed, flesh and skin. The Jeevas and Jagat are like the flesh and skin while Narayana is like the seed. There can be no fruit without the seed. Similarly the flesh and skin are all dependent on the seed. The connection between Narayana and Jeeva and Jagat are inextricable. You can not separate them.
