Society is not another concrete composite collective body. It is the expansion and expression of the Divine in each of its components, denotable and enjoyable as One. Society is the awareness of this cognizable Divinity. So, the one should not flee from the many; the individual is not harmed by society. The one should rather see the many in a new light – the light which reveals that society is but God, who activates and prompts the composite whole. The one is rendered fuller by association with the many: he gains by losing himself in the many!
