That alone is born; there is nothing that is born [apart from it].

Sa eva: that alone, the only one. What is “that”? Cid-ekaghana, the one solid mass of consciousness. That alone is “born”—it manifests, appears—but nothing else is born apart from it. Every apparent birth is cid manifesting as form. There is no “other” thing that is born. This is absolute monism, not acosmic monism. The world is not denied; it is reabsorbed into its source. Na kiṃcit api: not even the slightest thing. Not an atom, not a moment, not a fleeting sensation. Everything is cid-vṛtti, a modification of consciousness. The birth of a child, the sprouting of a seed, the dawn: all are cid emerging from cid, like a wave from the ocean. The sādhaka who sees this no longer celebrates nor laments births. They witness them as vilāsa, the play of consciousness. Birth is not an addition; death is not a subtraction. Only cid manifests and reabsorbs, eternally, without increase or decrease.
