It is no doubt a profound philosophical problem to ponder. It may not be different from the question “who am I” that many great sages throughout history asked us to ponder.

As I have said, the topic deserves a more thorough discussion than the one I gave it in the commentary above. What is the relationship between universality and individuality ? What is the relationship between the one and the many?

Is it the “individuality” itself that is the ‘problem’ and blots out the possibility of God’s presence shining forth, or is it something else that we do in the face of individuality, how we relate to it, what we subscribe to it? What is ‘individuality’? Hmmm…..
