ZERO

Om purnam-adah purnam-idam

purnaat purnam-udacyate.
purnasya purnam-aadaaya,
purnam-eva-avashishyate

It pretty much means that the sum of the whole is still whole and that we are all part of it. Remember the Indians invented the “shoonya” or the zero? Yes, but the shoonya is not nothing. It is EVERYTHING.

Don’t get it? Think about the beginning of the universe. In the beginning, there was nothing. But OF COURSE, that’s not true. In the beginning, there was EVERYTHING. Everything came out of that nothing. That is zero. When there is seemingly nothing, there is everything. Yes, we can start with zero.

Don’t really get it? I don’t either. It’s the highest philosophy (or is it math or science or what?) and to truly understand it, is to gain eternal peace. Nirvana.
