The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Parmenides by Plato: Impossible.
But if it is at all and so long as it is, it must be one, and cannot be
none?
Certainly.
Then the one attaches to every single part of being, and does not fail in
any part, whether great or small, or whatever may be the size of it?
True.
But reflect:--Can one, in its entirety, be in many places at the same time?
No; I see the impossibility of that.
And if not in its entirety, then it is divided; for it cannot be present
with all the parts of being, unless divided.
