## Chapter 156: Description of the Six Substances and Five Astikayas
**Verse 47:**
This is an example of the difference and non-difference of reality. Just as wealth and knowledge make a man wealthy and knowledgeable respectively, in two ways, so too do the wise say that there is both separateness and oneness.
**Commentary:**
Just as wealth, which is made up of different existences, different locations, different numbers, and different objects, makes a man wealthy, so too knowledge, which is made up of non-different existences, non-different locations, non-different numbers, and non-different objects, makes a man knowledgeable. This is how we should understand it in other cases as well. Where there is a difference in the substance, there is separateness. Where there is no difference in the substance, there is oneness.
