Threading a Ramanujan's equation with the idea of paradoxes and Andre Schwartz-Bart’s famous book, ‘The Last of the Just’ in the shadow of our search for alien life-forms during the time of pandemic!
SAN-Jeev - I am tempted to enquire about your dietary regime, but that would be familiarity hence छोटा मुँह बड़ी बात...
the article, at least the first part, reminded me of a book I had read before I had met you "Mister God this is Anna".
I was intrigued by the statement, "his effort to reduce himself to shunya"... with due respect to Arya Bhatta and Heisenberg .. the impossibly ofof it all, since I is so engrained in that effort... as I am often reminded... it is like trying to still the water with your hands.
Jesus did say, "First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean" Mt. 23. And I realize I cannot put my hand within. Who can? Who then can? I need to find Him who can.
And yes, you have hit the nail on the head - an honest man who truly seeks... but not just an honest man... an honest and humble man. It is the I of the Intellect that often blinds our Eye.
If you are wondering ... I have started on a low carb diet ... :-)
Very interesting article, Sanjeev! It shows how mathematics, philosophy and self-knowledge are interwoven. The whole humdrum of existence seem to start with the observer and his thought of ‘I’, which radiates his consciousness as lines in infinite directions. Subtracting oneself means all the lines reducing back into that one point, the origin from where it all started. And when that happens, perhaps the point itself merges into Shunya, a word that has no parallel in any language. In absence of the right word in English, let’s just say that the observer becomes the observed.

oops - ''thought''!
Very though-provoking!

''a poodle of unmanifested potential!'' > ''puddle''?
