In fact everything is ZERO without God.
Everything in the Universe takes the shape of a zero.
The earth is round, the sun, moon and stars are round, the galaxies are more or less round, and the entire universe itself appears to circle back upon itself and appears round.
The pupil of the eye through which you see the Universe is round like a zero.. a zero seen through a zero.
Even a straight line is a string of dots attaching themselves to become a line-- a string of zeroes!
In a real sense when death comes to man he discovers that he was in fact a zero all the time. Even the great conquerors, kings and emperors, empires and kingdoms have over the centuries turned into dust or changed completely and were thus a string of zeroes in space and time.
Man becomes a zero even before a minor ailment like a cold when he cannot get rid of it. He becomes like a zero even before a red traffic light, when he is forced to stop. He becomes like a zero before his office bosses. Whenever he cannot assert his own will he becomes a Zero.
What is his ego= his false "I" his bodily "I"?
Simply this:
"I can do this! I can do that! I have done this! I have done that!"
And it all ends at the time of death when the same bodily "I" cannot even say: "I am dead!"
Man is like a ZERO and God is like ONE.
When ZERO comes before ONE and surrenders itself by confessing:
"I am ZERO!"
ONE says to it " Now that you have come before me you are no longer ZERO, you have become TEN!"
1 + 0 == 10
This is the relationship of man with God. It is only when man surrenders himself completely before God, acknowledging his own nothingness, that he comes under the refuge of God, and the strength of God protects him and becomes his strength!
This is real enlightenment.
But one has to exercise caution here as well. If ZERO begins to think of itself as TEN and feels that ZERO itself is all-powerful and its ego begins to assert itself and it says "I am God," and leaves ONE, it becomes a ZERO once again.
