No, you do not understand. I'll try to re-explain his idea as simply as possible. For the examples, look at instances of time and small (though not microscopic) scale, don't overcomplicate it for yourself, losing the idea in doing so.
If something affects nothing but itself, it's existance is meaningless. An example: A grain of sand falling through the air. It's not affecting anything. It may sometime, but at the current moment, it is not doing anything, so it's existance is meaningless. Understand?
Taking everything, there is nothing left to affect. Example: There is nothing outside of the universe, the universe is everything, so the universe has no effect on anything but itself.
With everything accounted, and nothing left to influence, that means that everything's total existance is meaningless. Example: Back to the universe, it is everything, so there is nothing for it to affect. With nothing to affect, it is meaningless; EVERYTHING is meaningless.
Understand? Because that's as simple as I can take it.
