Oneness, non-duality, and non-separateness exist in the countless diversities of nature, of the diverse selfless existence of all kinds of names and forms under different qualities and characteristics, and all kinds of diversities are not contradicting against one another at all.
Oneness, non-duality, and non-separateness is the truth of what all and everything are, where all and everything that are uniquely different from one another are having the one same universal nature that exists in all kinds of diversities under all kinds of names and forms that exist under the many different qualities and characteristics having their own respective different functions and purposes, regardless of sentient and non-sentient living beings or non-living objects, to be selflessly working together and inter-supporting one another to be existing and functioning as what all and everything are.
It is about the universal truth of Selflessness, Impermanence, Limitation, Conditional, and Non-self that exists in all and everyone and everything, that makes all kinds of diversities not distinctive or separated from one another, even when all kinds of diversities are all uniquely different in their own way being what they are, as they are, and having their own selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function, changes, decay, disintegration, and ceased existence and function at their own respective cause and pace.
Diversity is the basis of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional existence and function of all kinds of names and forms. Without all the diverse elements that work together and inter-supporting one another selflessly, without the unconditional indiscriminate selfless active power of compassion that enabling all these names and forms to be here to be what all and everything are, none and nothing can be existing, not to say, to be functioning as anything.
All are selfless.
All are impermanent.
All are limited.
All are conditional.
All are non-self.
All are existing momentarily.
All are subject to arising, forming, changing, decaying, disintegrating, and passing away.
Just as ignorance, or being ignorant towards the truth of what all and everything are, it is NOT the opposite of highly intelligent, educated, and knowledgeable, or it is not about stupidity, or laziness, or uneducated and uncivilized, as being interpreted literally in the worldly dictionary of human beings.
Even the highly intelligent, educated, and knowledgeable, as well as hard-working and highly accomplished human beings who are not stupid, or lazy, or uneducated, or uncivilized at all, might still be functioning under the influence of ignorance, where the minds are still being over-powered and determined by the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in the selfless impermanent modification of the mind, where the minds might not be free from generating selfish egoistic impure thoughts/ideas/desires/actions/reactions/behaviors/visions/ambitions that would hurt themselves and others and the surrounding environment being over-powered by ignorance and its by-products, either intentionally or unintentionally, wittingly or unwittingly, deliberately or randomly.
Similarly,
Diversities is NOT the opposite of oneness, non-separateness, and non-dualism, as being interpreted literally in the worldly dictionary of human beings.
Oneness, non-duality, and non-separateness are NOT about non-diversity or uniformity, where all and everyone and everything are having one single uniform quality, or one single uniform name and form, or one single uniform characteristic, or one single family/specie/gender, or one single community, or one single ethnicity, or one single belief and values, or one single philosophy, or one single culture, or one single spirituality/religion or spirituality-less/religion-less, or one single uniform way of thinking, or one single uniform way of living, or one single uniform way of conduct, or one single vision, or one single aspiration, or one single nation and nationality, or one single leader/government/authority/political view in the entire world.
Healthy evolution of the existence and function of all and everything depends very much on the availability of diversities.
Such as the inevitable need of the existence of the many diverse different family lineage or genetic inheritance in any species of all kinds of sentient living organisms under the natural law of NATURE, such as the children that are born under the marriage among the relatives of the same family lineage and genetic inheritance will have certain unhealthy physical/mental/emotional condition and evolution, not to say, among parents and children or among siblings.
The existence of the many diversities of the many different species of the sentient and non-sentient living organisms of diverse plants/insects/animals/birds/reptiles/fish/shellfish, and etc, as well as the existence of the many different climates/seasons/landscapes/oceans/lakes/things/objects/tools/knowledge/skills, and even, desirable and undesirable relationships, interactions, affairs, conditions, and experiences, are all having their own respective unique functions/purposes/duties/responsibilities to be existing and functioning as what they are, that enabling the entire world of diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything to be existing and functioning as what it is.
The absence of all kinds of discrimination and separateness is not about eliminating and destroying all kinds of diversities/communities/unique individualism/self independence/freedom of being what all and everyone are/freedom of experiencing, learning, growing, living, moving, travelling, exploring, thinking, reasoning, understanding, knowledge, inputs, and outputs or expression in the world.
The presence of all kinds of discrimination and separateness that give rise to all kinds of unnecessary difficulties and painful suffering in the world of human beings under many diversities and communities that don't belong to anyone or anything, that impact, damage, and destroy the over-all physical/mental/emotional well-being of all and everyone, is deriving from the minds that are functioning under the veil of ignorance, being over-powered and determined by the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness.
The elimination of all kinds of discrimination and separateness is coming from the precious conscious mind evolution, that is about the annihilation of ignorance, of the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness in the minds of human beings that come with the unique precious functions of the conscious mind awareness, cognition, and intellectual reasoning.
The minds that are functioning under the influence of the veil of ignorance would think, reason, understand, and believe that oneness, non-dualism, and non-separateness is the opposite of diversity, where they strongly against the existence of diverse unique individualism under many different uniqueness of different names and forms under different qualities and characteristics, where they desire to be achieving 'one big uniform community' that they mistaken as 'oneness, non-dualism, and non-separateness', as well as to promote and achieve what they think and believe and understand as 'non-discrimination', by discouraging, eliminating, and destroying diversity, through unifying all kinds of diversities to become one single uniform, of only having one single community under one single ethnicity/tribe/characteristic/name and form, while living and functioning under one single belief and values, under one single nation governed by one single leader/government/authority in the entire world, by exercising and materializing unification via manipulation/education/temptation as well as by enforcing fear/disciplinary/prosecution/punishment/force/threat/intimidation/invasion/occupation/violence/killing to clear out all kinds of diversity, of the existing many different diverse ethnicity/tribes/communities/cultures/spiritualities/religions/beliefs and values/nations, by imposing criminalization/prosecution/punishment/imprisonment/reeducation/reformation unto the existence of the diverse unique individualism and the diverse independent nations under different leaders/governments/authorities under the many different diversities/visions/ways of living/ways of doing things/cultures/spiritualities/religions/beliefs and values, that go against their ambitious vision of a unify world of one big community under their particular leadership or authorization.
That type of thinking, belief, values, desires, practices, and ambitious visions, is already indicating the presence of ignorance that gives rise to intense greed/selfishness/possessiveness/discrimination/aversion/control/violence towards the nature, or the truth of nature that consists of many diversities that don't belong to anyone and anything, where all and everyone and everything are selfless, impermanent, limited, conditional, and non-self, where all and everyone and everything are free to be existing and functioning as what they are under many different diverse qualities of names and forms, having diverse uniqueness of each and everyone and everything.
The minds that insists that the way to eliminate separateness and discrimination is by unifying all and everyone and everything to become one single uniform, through destroying all kinds of unique individualism and diversities, freedom and independence of all diverse individuals or communities, just ask them, if they can still exist and function just by having the head without the whole body of many different or diverse components/organs/systems, or having only one single organ, or one single system, or one single cell/atom/neuron/neutron/proton, or one single gland, or one single limb, or one single finger, or one single knowledge and skill.
Similarly, out of ignorance, the minds 'misuse' the literal meaning of 'Selflessness', 'Selfless actions to be working together and inter-supporting one another', 'generosity', 'unconditional loving kindness', 'compassion', 'non-attachment', 'non-expectation', 'non-judgment', 'acceptance', 'all are imperfect', 'silence', 'non-self', 'cause and effect', and 'neither good nor bad' or non-duality, to be justifying 'slavery', 'exploitation', 'submissive towards authority', 'silence against abusive ill-treatments', 'I can do whatever I desire', 'engaging in irresponsible uncommitted multiple love relationships', 'intentional hurtful behavior', 'I am performing my duty for helping 'xxx' to be judging and punishing all and everyone who are disobedient, who are bad and wrong', 'I am not responsible for anything because the biologists say that there is no freewill', 'it's the responsibility of my genes inheritance and the hormones, that is why I am what I am, and behaving in the way that I behave, it is not 'I', and there is no 'I' existing', 'why bother about engaging in all kinds of practice and observation because the biologists say that all and everything are destined to be what we are and to be evolving in certain way under an existing cause, that all kinds of changes are fixed and governed by the previous cause that is the effect of the previous previous cause in an beginningless and endless loop, that my desire is influenced by the hormones and the autonomous survival instinct, that all my thoughts and actions are also the effect of the previous cause, that everything that I experience and don't experience, and what I do and don't do in my entire existence until I ceased existing, is fixed', and etc.
Even the biologists can also be functioning under the veil of ignorance, unless they attain direct self realization towards the conscious mind evolution that enables the selfless perceptive cognitive intellectual emotional thinking and acting faculty to transcend itself, of the selfless impermanent limited and conditional momentary existence and function of the mind stuff that is non-self, that don't even belong to the thinking and acting faculty, not to say, all and everything else don't belong to anyone or anything, where the mind can be resting in peace and devoid of ignorance during the momentary selfless impermanent existence and function, not being determined or over-powered by the selfless impermanent limited and conditional physical body and the mind stuff being what it is, that is constantly changing, decaying, disintegrating, and eventually, passing away.
Similarly, there are some minds try to curb all kinds of discrimination and separateness by restricting all kinds of diversities/individuals/communities to be what they are, as they are, by disallowing and criminalizing certain usage of words/sentences/expressions/symbols that might be sensitive or offensive for certain individuals or communities, by disallowing and criminalizing certain physical looks and appearances under certain colours, clothing, and accessories, or by disallowing and criminalizing certain affairs, events, and activities that 'belong' to certain 'culture'/'belief'/'values'/'spirituality'/'religion'/'tribe'/'ethnicity'/'community', which don't and cannot stop the existence of discrimination and separateness, or more precisely, offensiveness, defensiveness, anger, and hatred in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, because discrimination and separateness, or offensiveness, defensiveness, anger, and hatred don't come from all those names and forms, but they are deriving from the minds functioning under the influence of ignorance, the idea of 'I', egoism, impurities, and restlessness.
Upon the annihilation of ignorance, all kinds of worldly egoistic beliefs and values and practices are just what they are. All kinds of beliefs, values, and practices cannot determine the minds to be peaceful or not peaceful. They are neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong, where many minds still need to hold onto particular belief and values and practices to be who they are, and to live life in certain way of having particular direction that motivate them to continuing living despite the presence of doubts, painful sorrow, difficulties, disappointment, fear, worry, challenging conditions and situations, and all kinds of physical/mental/emotional suffering. For the liberated minds, they don't need to hold onto or rely unto any kind of belief, values, or practice to give them a particular direction in life, and they don't need to be motivated by anything for anything.
Meanwhile, the action or practice of restricting, disallowing, or criminalizing the many diverse individuals or communities to be what they are, as they are, is a form of discrimination, separateness, offensiveness, defensiveness, anger, and hatred towards certain names and forms that the minds think and believe and recognize as 'bad', 'wrong', 'negative', 'inappropriate', or 'non-supporting and contradicting towards their particular thinking, idea, belief, values, desire, vision, and practice'.
It is about guiding and teaching all minds to be developing openness and self-inquiry that gives rise to correct understanding from young, that gives rise to acceptance, accommodation, and respect towards all kinds of diversities being what they are, even if oneself strongly disagrees with certain things about some others based on one's own particular family/community thinking and belief, values and practice, while not being disturbed, or offended, or determined by one's own disagreement and dislike towards all the others that are different from oneself, allowing all and everyone to be free, to be what they are, as they are. Understanding that if there are certain behavior that are unreasonable and hurtful coming from some others, is because these minds are functioning under the influence of ignorance. One doesn't need to be determined by the ignorance and ignorant behavior of others. One can do one's best to stay away from such minds functioning under the influence of ignorance, just as one would do one's best to stay away from any kinds of natural disaster or the presence of danger.
Most minds would think and believe, and say, "I (We) have the rights to be here. This is my (our) land and space. Why do I (we) being the one that move away? These bad and terrible people don't deserve to be here. We need to chase them out and keep them away from here, that belongs to me and my ancestor (our community and our country)."
If one's house is on fire, one doesn't hesitate to get out from the house that is on fire. One doesn't talk to the fire, "Hey, this is my house. You don't deserve to be here. I don't want you to be here. Get out and disappear from my house."
As well as the hard but true reality of, "I (We) would like to be able to go somewhere, but where can I (we) go? I am (We are) illegal being anywhere in this world of human beings. We all are 'illegal' for being existing and living anywhere on this planet earth that doesn't belong to anyone or anything. We don't even have a proper shelter to live, not to say, to have an address or any kind of documentation. Life is already very difficult for us to survive, not to say, to be living under constant bullying, intimidation, threat, violence, and cruelty."
While in truth, none and nothing belongs to anyone or anything.
We all are merely tiny part of the selfless, impermanent, limited, and conditional, finite, mortal, and fragile diverse organisms that exist momentarily sharing this space of the universe that doesn't belong to anyone or anything under the unconditional indiscriminate selfless power of compassion of the nature.
Claiming possession and ownership or authorization/power of control towards the land and space, nature and natural resources, and the diverse communities, and taking away or criminalizing the basic freedom of existence/survival/living/being of all and everyone in this world that doesn't belong to anyone or anything, that gives rise to all kinds of unnecessary difficulties, desperation, and painful suffering in the world, is indeed the greatest 'crime' of all 'crimes'.
Did the existence of 'law and orders' that supposed to be 'protecting the people from all kinds of corruptions, bullies and their bullying' reduce or get rid of all kinds of corruptions, bullies and their bullying, or it is a convenient tool being created and used by the corrupted minds to be corrupted, or to be empowering the bullies to be bullying others?
Did the 'law and orders' stop the wars that hurt and destroy and impact all and everyone and everything that don't have any desire to get involved in violence and cruelty?
Did all kinds of incredible magic or vast collective positive mind power stop all kinds of ignorance, suffering, corruptions, wars, violence, cruelty, bullies and their bullying?
Inquire towards the truth of everything.
Do not blind-believe, blind-follow, blind-practice, blind-agree/disagree, blind-propagate, blind-admire, or blind-glorify anyone or anything.
Be open and be diligent to be inquiring towards the truth of all kinds of beliefs/values/ideas/sayings/information/knowledge/philosophies/teachings/spiritualities/politics/stories telling, in the world of many diversities that doesn't belong to anyone and anything, coming from anyone and everywhere, including all that is here.
