This says so much
So I decided to look up the etymology of the word "define," since our tendency to define, to interpret, to conceptualize, gives rise to the appearance of duality and, ultimately, suffering. Here's the entry:
The word define originates from the 14th-century Middle English definen or diffinen, borrowed from Old French and Latin, meaning "to mark the limits of," "fix," or "set boundaries". It stems from the Latin definire, combining de- ("completely") + finire ("to limit, set boundaries," from finis meaning "end/boundary").
This says so much, and really fits well with advaita and even our own first-person experience.
