Why does the mind focus on the infinite love?

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.

Mental health matters

By
It is 547am and I have decided to write. I have been living with a mental health diagnosis for more than 23 years. I am differently abled. Mental illness sometimes presents itself as a non-visible disability. A person with mental illness may look and function normally. Added to that we do not get to see the struggles happening internally. After 23 years I could say that I have much experience with my condition and may be able to offer words that may help others. There is plenty of stigma associated with mental illness. People think that the mentally ill are bad people, weak, or somehow less deserving of dignity and the treatment of the illness sometimes feels like punishment and is dehumanizing at times. There is plenty of good intentions and well meaning as well (do not get me wrong) but things could be better. And it happens at the highest level. A leader once said, "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad." As the saying goes, who knows it feels it. I started a pr...

Motivation

By
It is 150pm and I have decided to write. I have no topic to start but I feel like writing. While trying to decide what to write I saw this question that had my interest, what motivates you to keep going even when life is difficult? The first thing that popped in my mind was God. But I do not think the answer is simple or singular. I also think I need to put some thought into this. Also what is the relationship between motivation and discipline? Motivation is easy but discipline is hard. I think for me motivation comes from the joy of success. But God was my first answer. Now that God is the focus of my life, the joy of success becomes being a success in the eyes of God. But I said the answer was not singular. So different things motivate us at different times but they all lead to wanting to succeed. This reminds me of the Muslim call to prayer that says come to success. If motivation is what calls you then success calls you and success gives you joy. My friend Chatty says that what I h...
