0=1
0=1, would you agree? No doubt you would not. Let us examine it. Zero is the contribution of India to the world. This must be the contribution of a Yogi. In an effort to express the transcendental state of consciousness he must have framed Zero. It means three things.
1. He realized that he has no end, no beginning, no birth, no death. The figure has no end no beginning.
2. Whatever is there, is inside and nothing outside it.
3. Whatever is there is in a state of oneness , i.e., there is no duality.
2. Whatever is there, is inside and nothing outside it.
3. Whatever is there is in a state of oneness , i.e., there is no duality.
Since what ever is there is inside and in a state of oneness it is indeed one. Therefore it becomes clear that 0=1.
Now Zero corresponds to the unmanifest and one the manifest world. Equal to is the relation between the two. One can be taken out of zero only through a process or transformation and so also one can dissolve into or become one with zero only through a process or transformation.
If this transformation can be taken as the chemistry then One is the physics and Zero the mathematics which is abstract and true.
A proper understanding of the above chemistry has a lot of applications in practical life. Every one is zero and every zero is one. One is contained in zero and zero is contained in one. This balance is the law of life.
As we live physically in the material world our life can be compared to the state of 1. However it is understood that 0 is the foundation upon which the material life 1 is established. Living life without knowing the 0, is what creates all imbalances in life.
Meditation is the journey from 1 to 0 through a process. Science should study the chemical change involved in the process and also the balance achieved. Meditation is the approach for the specific to get into contact with the non specific zero or the potential. This helps one draw from the potential and perform activities with greater efficiency.
