The Bowl of Saki Commentary
Commentary for:
As long as in love there is "you" and "me," love is not fully kindled.

The spreading of atoms and vibrations causes day. The collection of vibrations into bundles, which is the concentration or contraction of their activity, by drawing more of light into one locality produces shadow in another locality. When shadow is produced, there is no longer universal day.
Likewise in the human concept of love, when one includes oneself in the picture one turns love into my love; when one distinguishes even unconsciously and subtly my-love from my-not-love or from love-other-than-my-love, there is division, and any division betrays absence of love.
