The Infinite!

I was taught to divide complex things into smaller ones, learn those simpler things and put together. It made my life easy too.

It was to happen sometimes, and it happened! I ended up with only one and zero. Then, I divided  one by zero... I had no answer! It turned out that the answer is, 'well, it is not defined', I was told.... It was beyond what I have known so far. I could not comprehend, contemplate, work with ...

I realized existence of something other than unknown and known, for the first time. That is, I learned about the unknowable, undefinable, unfathomable, ... I called it infinite.

I looked around for help. Everyone around is talking about infinite, as well! Some divided 2 by zero, some others 3 by zero and so on. Every one has their very own infinite.

Now that we have many 'infinite's, each infinite gathered its own set of dogmatic followers. No one has ever seen an infinite. Yet, followers  of one infinite claimed their infinite is better, more powerful, and fought with followers of the other 'infinite's, to prove superiority of their infinite... and any discussion on infinite without reverence was blasphemy!

Amidst the din, the master asked the question 'Who wants to know the truth?' ..... and there was eloquent silence all around, as we realized the infinite within and outside dissolving into an enlightening experience, transcending the confines of individual existence!
