Maharaj and Math

[Guest guest]

I am a great fan of Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, although I am only 22

years old. I've felt for the last two years now, that he is the most

clear and concise in tackling all possible questions. However, last

night, in a discussion with my friend, we were talking about how

humans see patterns in the relative world, and from that move through

belief, or they basically fill in the gaps with faith. Bear with me

here, somehow he connected the argument to math, and it really got me

thinking. Math is known by everyone. 2+2 is known to equal 4, and

although someone travelling at a different speed than us may appear

to us as using a skewed math, to them it is all the same. So what

then is math? Is it the supreme toolset of the absolute? Is it an

accident we conjured out of the relative world?

Please inquire into yourself if there is the

possibility of a state beyond the questioner who makes

the enquieries.

Yes, space and time being the attributes of a

life-time, everything in phenomenality can but be

limited/relative.

Even this doubt occurs in phenomenality.

 

For eg, Einstien's principle that speed of light is

an absolute constant ( c) irrespective of the frame of

reference is rooted in phenomenality, assuming that

there are observers to verify these statements.

 

Math and it's utility lie, if at all , rooted in

phenomenality. You have nothing to do with math,

neither will you ever gain anything " useful " from

it.How can you, when you are pure noumenon , pure

Consciousness!
