“Mathematics and Mysticism”

CHARACTERISTICS

Both Mathematics and Divine are abstract in nature objective, not subjective absolute universal eternal pure

In the world of infinity, all mathematical figures are equal. Similarly in the world of divine, all human beings are treated as equal.

No person in the world can be equal to God.

A person tends to God as he goes on breaking his negatives and sins.
