Simultaneously completely pervading all waves, yet the ocean is not multiple; concurrently each encompassing the great ocean, yet the waves are not one. Furthermore, when the great ocean completely pervades a single wave, this does not prevent its entire essence from completely pervading all waves. When a single wave completely encompasses the great ocean, all waves also each completely encompass it. They do not mutually obstruct one another.
