Meaning
The commentary on verses 47 and 48: though the delusion of the world occurs, nothing has been born. Not two, since there is no dealing with a second; and without oneness, since there is nothing from which one would be set apart. "One" needs a second to be counted against; where there is none, even "one" is too many words.
