One does not become many, and that which is many does not attain to oneness. But in reality, do we not know that you are the embodiment of both of these i.e. of both oneness and multiplicity)? We also know that (substance), which is born in multiplicity (i.e. which is endowed with infinite aspects), must undergo simultaneous transformations that conform to the nature of those (multiple aspects, i.e. each quality undergoes its own modifications, thus ensuring the multiple nature of the existent).

While one (mode) is destroyed, another mode) arises. And at the same time, yet another (thing, namely the substance), remains consantly present. You hold very strongly to the doctrint that all these three, (namely destruction, production, and continuity), are found equally (and simultancously) in the same object. Therefore, (being an existent [sāt]), you are yourself characterized by destruction, production, and continuity. If this were not so, (i.e. if) these three (were) external to you, they would be rendered void (i.e. they are not independent existents, but merely descriptions of the nature of reality). (8) [533]

O Lord! In your doctrine, you assert both the production and the destruction of a thing. But indeed, (when it is said that) "a thing is produced,” (that statement itself) must (mean) destruction, for (what is destruction of an old state) if not production of a new state ? Just as the continuity), which is
