Power of Nothing!

Power of Nothing!

That’s today’s topic!!

Mathematics is a subject which is most loved as well as hated one!

However, it can also be a source of deep understanding of Self!

After big banyan tree revealed the secret of space, which is nothingness let’s understand the power of nothing!

In mathematics, a number ‘n’ is multiplied with itself x times is expressed as n^{x .} Here n is called as base and x is exponent or power.

n^xis spelt as n to the power of x. Let’s look at the power of this function.
10²= 100
10³= 1000
10¹⁰= 1000 crores!
So when a number is raised to a power, the number becomes huge. But if any number is raised to the power of zero it becomes one! (n⁰ = 1)
Here is the analogy:
The person is base and thought is power. We generally get our identity through our thoughts about self and the surroundings.
So more the number of thoughts we carry more overwhelming it becomes in realizing the identity!
When the thought becomes zero, the net result on the person’s identity essentially becomes ONE! That’s the trick to be in oneness.
That’s power of nothing!
To be in meditation is nothing but being in stillness, stillness of mind. When thought stops true identity is revealed!
The ultimate aim in life is to become zero. Zero in terms of thoughts we harbour!
Because zero is hero! If you are wondering how, here is the explanation.
When you are zero, if someone likes you they put you in front of them and you will cause their value to be up by ten folds. In case someone does not like you and keep you behind them, there is no change in their value and it does not affect you in any way!
Now a question may arise in your mind. What happens if a person, who is already zero, puts you in front of him/her?
It really does not matter where he/she puts you. However, together you add value hundred folds to others!
So again that’s power of nothing! Zero is new hero!
