I'd say the relative is the Absolute and nothing but the Absolute, whereas the Absolute is not the relative.
It's like Water and wave. A wave is Water through and through, however Water is not a wave.
Another way to look at it is the dream is the Dreamer through and through, however the Dreamer is not the dream.
The relative, wave and dream are all limited by name and form whereas the Absolute, Water and Dreamer are not limited by name and form.
It's the finite vs. the Infinite and the words used as labels for the Infinite are only that - words - and intellect, thoughts and words are wholly inadequate to express the true nature of the Absolute.
By the way, I'm back.
