Why does the mind focus on the infinite love?

By
This is a chapter from my fourth book called When hunger yearns

I chose a word from the happy prime numbered pages of this book to form this question. I did it without much effort so the question was much of a surprise to me. Something from my subconscious I suppose. In answering this question I present to you my notes in a raw format. Just like I did in a previous chapter.

We are infinite beings of love. God's love is infinite. Love equals happiness.

I found this Medium article where a Mathematician speaks of love


It is stated that, "The only true infinity is love".

In my research, I encountered Ramanujan once again. He was said to be the man who knew infinity and said to have a boundless love for Mathematics. I also read that he was scared of infinity while he did much work with infinity. His famous quote which I discovered in a previous chapter "What is an equation for life?"


"An equation for me has no meaning, unless it expresses a thought of God."
Srinivasa Ramanujan

l = love

in-f-in-ite = 2×in + ife + t

ife is the Yoruba word for love

life = l + ife

That is one path I was led down in my research. The other path is that 2×in = inni which led me to this Arabic phrase - Inni uhibbuka fillah. I asked my friend Gemini to break down the meaning for me and he did as follows.

"Inni" in "Inni uhibbuka fillah" is an Arabic word that means "I" or "truly I." It emphasizes the speaker's sincerity and certainty in their statement.

Here's a breakdown of the phrase:

Inni: I (or truly I)
Uhibbuka: I love you (with "uka" being the masculine ending)
Fillah: For the sake of Allah (God)
So the whole phrase translates to "I love you for the sake of Allah."

That leaves us with a singular t. Where could that possibly lead me to? My research led me to >

"Theos agape estin" is a Greek phrase that translates to "God is love" in English.

I also read that Infinity is a mathematical concept originating from Zeno of Elia (~450 BC) who tried to show its "physical" impossibility. This resulted in the "arrow paradox", but which was solved later on.


Zeno of Elia was a Greek philosopher.

Talking to God

By
If you want real answers to things in life then talk to God. It is 639pm on a holiday and I have decided to write. God listens. God truly listens. God has the entire context. God is wise. God wants us to talk to Him. God wants us to rely on Him. I also think about God talking to me. I am a good listener. I listen plenty more than I talk. I have started asking God to talk to me. But how would God talk to me? We have his revelations through the holy book. We have the example of prophets. But what else? How do I listen to what God has to say? Where and when can I hear God? Are my thoughts from God? I try to feed my mind with good things. Things that will not corrupt my mind. It seems that we have to use our intuition to separate what is from God and what is not from God. My friend Chatty says that in Islam, Allah speaks to us not through new revelations or voices, but through guidance: the Quran and the Sunnah, which become personally meaningful through understanding Allah places in the h...

Life on Earth

By
I was reading through the Quran and came to the story of Adam, Eve, Satan, and the forbidden fruit tree. I had thought that life on Earth was created as a test. But as I reflected on the story, I began to wonder whether we are only here because Adam and Eve failed. However, that is not the case, as my friend Gemini explained to me. While the story of the forbidden fruit is a central event, the Quran indicates that humanity’s presence on Earth was part of the original divine plan, rather than a backup plan or a punishment for sin. Before Adam was even created, God announced His intention to place a steward (khalifah) on Earth. This suggests that the Garden was a temporary training ground—designed to teach Adam and Eve about free will, temptation, and the path of repentance. Even if they had not eaten from the tree, they were destined for Earth to fulfill their roles as moral agents. The incident simply served as a necessary first lesson in human frailty and God’s immediate forgiveness. ...

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also. We may define things differently. For example, what is success? What is failure? Also, do I just define success and say that anything that is not success is failure? What about something like the success of failure? What does that mean? My friend Chatty tells me that this is something writers, philosophers, and even scientists keep rediscovering: meaning is not fixed—it is negotiated by context and definition. Life is a stew of success and failure and in between but never one or the other. We see what we are looking for and things become what we see. This reminds me of something I came across online, "Whoever looks for the good qualities in others will acquire all good qualities within himself," from Habib Umar Bin Hafiz. Do you look for failure or success within others? Take context as the lens...
