Passage 5

In English

Unity is the primal number. “One” contains all other numbers and all numbers can be derived from “one.” We have to recognise the inner significance of this fact. All other numbers are not different from “one”. They are only forms of “one”. For example, “four” contains four ones or 1 + 1 + 1 + 1=4. If you add 1 to 4, you get 5. In such arithmetical processes, numbers either increase or decrease in their value. But number “1” remains an integral number without any change or modification.
