Who am I?......contd...

न चैकं तदंयात द्वितीयम कुतः स्यात

कैवलत्वम न चाकैवलत्वम

नाशून्यम न चाशून्यमद्वैतकत्वात

कथं सर्ववेदान्तसिद्धं ब्रवीमि


It is not one for how can there be a second distinct from it?Aloneness cannot be attributed to it nor even not aloneness. It is neither a void nor a non-void. When it does not admit of a second entity, in what manner can Ispeak about it is established by all the Upanishads.
