Meaning
Wind moving and wind still are one air. The commentary: his being, moving and unmoving and present everywhere, is different only in name, by the habit of speech; in truth it is not different. Stirring and stillness are both his being and his fullness; anything else, any "otherwise", is a turning of appearance, different in name alone.
