Tao Bible - Matthew 12:47-49

Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
~ King James version ~

Does one scent appeal more than another? Do you prefer this flavor, or that feeling? Is your practice sacred and your work profane? Then your mind is separated: from itself, from oneness, from the Tao. Keep your mind free of divisions and distinctions. When your mind is detached, simple, quiet, then all things can exist in harmony, and you can begin to perceive the subtle truth.
~ Verse 11 of the Hua Hu Ching ~

For me, both snippets above speak to the issue of duality. If our minds are separated, we see separation. If our minds are unified, we understand the unity of all things.
