lyrics

One Plus One Equals One
Merton Archive Tape 213-05

I’ll just read what he says. Or, rather, this is Kashani, who is commenting on Arabi about the idea of the one and the many, which is more familiar:

“When one manifests itself in a different form it is called two. But two is nothing other than one and one put together while one itself is not a number. It is to be remarked that the structure of this putting together of two ones is one. And the product of this putting together which is called two is also one number. So that the essential form here is one, the matter is one, and the two ones put together are also one, i.e. one, manifesting itself in the form of the many. Thus, one produces the number two by manifesting itself in two different forms. The same is true of three, for example, which is one and one and one. And the nature and structure of its oneness is exactly the same as in the case of two.”
