"No thought can grasp Him"
Right. No THOUGHT can grasp Him. No created being, even a tzaddik can grasp His essence. Hashem said "you can see my back, but not My Front".
So what can we do to get close?
Of we can't grasp Him, the next best might be to just do as He says, to do what He wants. When one does what the other wants one can get as close as possible.

The words you speak about reaching that highest state of real "reality"
are beautiful. Every once in a while I believe one can reach that state and actually reaches that state. To stay there forever however and continuously, is the challenge!

"Creation has not compromised Hashem's Oneness"
Yet....somehow before Creation Hashem was, so to speak, "incomplete ". His desire for a dwelling place below was as yet unfilled before Creation. His desire for Kingship was as yet unfulfilled before Creation of subjects. Etc
So, although Creation may not have COMPROMISED Hashems Oneness, it very well may have COMPLETED Him.in certain ways

Levels of risk for various investments
There are many levels of risk with cash. The safest is to put it under the mattress. Little risk of loss and no chance to gain. Riskier is tp buy bonds. Very little risk with a commensurate small but sure gain. Riskier still is to buy a stock. Greater risk of loss and greater risk of gain. Riskiest is to gamble. Very high risk of loss but slim risk of gain tho the gain could be great, like a lottery ticket.
Hashem "money", assets, resources include the neshomas of yidden. He too, has various investment opportunities. Some are little chance of gain but little risk. And,,similarly, medium risk of gain and loss. The riskiest investment gives the chance for great gain but also great loss.
Esav was such a risky investment. Great high neshoma. Great chance fir gain and loss (damage).
Yakov was a very low risk of investment. A neshoma not as high as Esav perhaps, but the profit was more assured.
