The Moslems [sic] are right: God is One, and indivisible*; I have been unkind about the Koran's more [sic] original statements, but of course the nearer you come to the Absolute Truth the less truly original you are likely to be, and the Koran emphasises this aspect of God as known by God better than any other source I have read.

If we have to be reminded of it, it is because we see things through the Separation, of which we are a part, and which is the great division apparent of God the Indivisible; and we use symbols from the Separation which we can understand, to guide us back to God. The point of view is crucial: what appears divided when perceived from Outside is undivided as known from Within. (Even the ability to perceive 'from Outside' is a consequence of the Separation.)
