In conventional sense there is 'I' and 'You',but in ultimate sense there is no 'I' or 'You'.

it's a language thing not religious, to communicate you must state wether you're talking about yourself or someone else, just as if you're talking to a group of people or one person in particular. And I and YOU are only english things for instance in German it's "Ich" and du or Sie. Also in German du is singular informal (meaning family or close friends) and Sie is singular formal, sie is plural (they) or it can also mean she and ihr is like y'all (plural). If you're ever bored you should look up why sie/Sie is so vercitile in German it's quite interesting really. It's all just communication.

Yeah, I think this belongs over in Philosophy.
An attempt: "I" is the word spoken out of self-consciousness. "You" is the word which addresses self-consciousness.
Now let's all go read Buber.

Why is a Tree called a Tree? A Rose by any other name is STILL a Rose.

I never say "U," I always say "You."
