Re: other then 2...
Namaste.
Yes..there is One, only one..
There is only one "window" which, the same for us all, when opened to us brings Awareness- also called Sat. Indeed, Sat is One.
Yes, there is two..
When the window is shut to us, there is us and there is what lies beyond.
Then, there is many..
When the incoming Light, the Soma, brings to us many treasures through the open window.
So which one is true? One, Two, Many?
None. Because the words "One", "Two", "Many" have their birth in the Reality, they come from the Reality, therefore they cannot claim precedence over the Reality, they cannot define or confine it.
Yet everyone of them is true, as discussed in the start.
Let us talk about "the window", then. This is the only fruitful exercise.
A good start to it is, arguably, a rejection of "all this visible world" with the belief that there are truths beyond it, that there is a window, and there is a whole new world on the other side. As a teenager I remember having gone through this.
There is a time and space for everything.

Things to remember:
1. Life = yajña
2. Depth of Āstika knowledge is directly proportional
to the richness of Sanskrit it is written in
3. Āstika = Bhārata ("east") / Ārya ("west")
4. Varṇa = tripartite division of Vedic polity
5. r = c. x²
where,
r = realisation
constant c = intelligence
variable x = bhakti
