Infinity...
One of my favorite hymns is the following because I simply love the sound of it as well as its profound meaning:
Aum Poornamadah Poornamidam Poornaat Poornamudachyate;
Poornasya Poornamaadaaya Poornamevaavashisyate
It can be loosely translated as:
What is Whole (Infinite) - This is Whole (Infinite) - What has come out of the Whole (Infinite) is also Whole (Infinite); When the Whole (Infinite) is taken out of the Whole (Infinite), the Whole (Infinite) still remains Whole (Infinite).
One may think its a mathematical definition for infinity!:) . I found this interesting blog that compares this hymn with elements of Taoism. Other entries on the blog (esp. comments by kichami on the above article) are worth checking out.
