I like the world of form. Do I have to give it up to see Oneness?

You seem to have a misunderstanding about Buddhism. If you happen to think that we should give up our mundane life by leading an ascetic and austere life with poor food to see Oneness, it is far from being true.

Buddhism is not a religion that leads people to give up the world of form but one that helps people to attain lasting happiness from the world of form. The reason why Buddhism teaches people the way to see Oneness is that it is the very way to attain lasting happiness.
