the point is that what we call distinct objects are not inherently distinct - it is us that draw the distinctions. Also, that our labels for things are not labels of identity, but labels of function/purpose - if I point at an object and call it a "chair", what I am saying is that it can be sat on, not that "chair" summarises its inherent characteristics. The point being that base reality is not accessible to us, only our perceptions and interpretations of reality. We have no way of knowing what the reality is beyond our perceptions.
