Maths of Love and More ....

I was watching the hindi movie Zeher the other day, from whence came the idea to write this blog-entry.
The maths of a successful relationship is something like this...
1 + 1 = 1
meaning thereby that whenever the man and woman put their 'I' aside and think about their relationship as a whole, the relationship will succeed.
Not surprisingly the maths of an unsuccessful relationship is ...
1 + 1 = 2
The maths of spirituality is very straightforward:
1 = 0
meaning thereby that till you have 'I' or 'ego' you are nothing, a zero.
The following equation is the essence of spiritual journey.
0 = infinity
The above equation can best be understood by the following Doha by Kabir...
Jab mei tha, tab Hari nahin,
Ab Hari hai, mei naahin.
which means...
Till you have 'I', there is no God,
Once you realize God, you realize, there is no concept of 'I'.
