Here is a mathematical equation created around the year 1800 by the philosopher Friedrich Schlegel which addresses this absurd idea of dividing by zero.

Aspara,
Its very interesting that you discovered that relationship about ego and dividing by zero … I think it may be more common than people would think. Here it is again (link)

Really cool Komila, perfect
Soul is nothing, yet present in everything.. just like zero..
Universe/world is that everything which contains infinite nothing, which is the definition of God/universal consciousness, which is again nothing but the soul itself! Advaita!

Fantastic post..it is quite philospical & absolutely, logical !!

Multiply : World x soul/atman = soul/atman
Divide: World/Soul = God or Soul/World = God
Add.subtract: World +/- Soul = World

where, world being ne number and sould being nothing/zero…inifite results relates to GOD..

it took me lot of time to get results, but it was fun interpreting the same…

Thoughts/corrections are all welcome.

Well said Apsara, philosophical math

Kislay, dont worry about somebody writing wrong things, truth cant be hidden for a long time
As for 0/0, it is ‘undefined’, there is nothing more to worry about it. It simply means, how many times can we remove nothing, out of nothing, so that nothing is left!!

Thanks Viji and Phani

Another nice article.

Division by zero can be said this way also,
6/3 means, how many 3’s are there in 6.
so for 6/0 it can be.. how many 0’s are there in 6. This statement is absurd and so is infinity.

[...] There is conversion even in computer programming languages So in these C-like languages which rule almost the entire computer programming industry, when software developers say ?Zeroth? index, they actually mean ?First? Item! … read more [...]

This is an established fact that Ancient Indians invented the zero , right ? Recently I read a book called Holy Cow by Sarah MacDonald , and in that book the author says that zero was invented by Indians but somebody from Damascus . I tell you it really pissed me off . And regarding 0/0 , George Cantor went mad trying to find the value of infinity , so I guess the question is not that stupid . Watch the documentary Dangerous Knowledge if you got time . Its about George Cantor, Ludwig Boltzmann, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing .

Hi GD, excellent philosophical math post!

Now, am intrigued here. You said:
Division of any number by zero = infinity.

What about if I translate it into this:
Cut your ego till you are gone (nothingness), then ‘you’ will get the Infinite. Call it the Universe, the Multiverse, your true self, whatever.

And about 0/6 = 0 or 0/1 million = 0…

It seems to me that the Grand Nothingness remains the same, whatever you do to it. Take anything from it, add anything from it the Grand Zero is the same.

Mountain is still mountain. Rose is still rose, as you said somewhere

It’s intriguing how basic maths can actually explain some basic stuffs of spirituality.
