Actually it is more simply stated as that between a thimble full of water representing Self Realization (CC according to MMY, sometimes), A picture full of water representing GC (realization of the personal formless 'consciousness' of the personal God IN creation) And Unity or UC, represented by a broken picture of water, realization of the Universal oneness of Brahman as manifest and unmanifest. :-) Just like water is the same regardless of the container, so Brahman is essentially the same regardless of the form it is expressed thru...(my analogy).
