To all,
While going through a few verses of the ISHA UPANISHAD I came across the following-" Purnamadah Purnamidam
Purnatpurnam Udichhayte
Purnamasya Purnamadaya
Purnam eba Abishyate."
A literal English translation would be something like this-
This is the full,That is the full
From the full flows the full
if the full is taken away from the Full
What remains is the Full.
This may be the earliset attempt by mankind to define the concept of INFINITY in mathemetics. Were the UPANISHDS , the trend -setter in defining Infinity ?
I would be grateful and feel enriched if anybody can throw some light on this .
