Dear Basudeba,
Thank you once again for keeping me on my toes... Your reply, in the first 4 paragraphs, demonstrates your sound understanding, and well written capabilities to grasp a concept and delineate it with great perception.
Your paragraph 5 shows your great sense of thoughtfulness, wisdom, and humor as well. I hope I land somewhere is the better part of that paragraph!
We indeed are on the same page based on your reply. The problem may solely rest with me, in my explaining of "The Twain that Shall Never Meet." (At least I hope.) So without reviewing my previous words on this phrase, I will take a fresh start at it:
When I speak of the "Infinite" and "Finite", I am speaking about 2 elements of existence that co-exist, but are of distinctions, that have no conscious relationship to one another, other than as you stated, perhaps Time and Space. But because two entities have like qualities does not necessitate commonality and or sameness.
I know you believe these to be separate elements, but I assume you believe that they marry-up in a common form of consciousness or perhaps even a mathematical proof, not yet discovered, or in some other form of consciousness not yet understood. If you do believe that? A-OK. I just simply do not. Albeit they are partners of our existence, they are in poetic terms, and could no doubt be said in better terms: "A Twain that will never Meet." I believe that. Please let me try to explain why:
Somewhere in my previous rhetoric, I must has paraphrased that the "Infinite" by definition cannot, will not, and must not be defined, by sentient beings. As to do so would be to circumscribe and limit it, therefore it cannot be infinite. And believe me - I have spent unending days and nights trying to understand infinity over my life time (That of Time and Space (part and parcel.))
The Proof is this:
1. Sentient Beings are "Finite and for sake of argument co-exist in the "Infinite", (as Finite things are the result of the Infinite) However since sentient "finite objects" live within the infinite, they are not the infinite, otherwise, they would be of a duality (Finite and Infinite). Dualities are not and cannot be "Infinite".
a. Hence Proof number 1 is an Absolute that cannot violate itself.
2. Infinity by definition, has no center-point, is boundless, has no beginning and no end, hence it will never be understood by a sentient mind, by mathematics or philosophy, as this would violate both Proof 1 and 2.
3. I want to also note that within an "infinite" existence, there can be no love, no joy, no pain, no knowledge, no ego. As to apply any attribute to the infinite, is to limit it and define it. And that which cannot be understood cannot be defined in our conventional terms. Such as A = A. Again, such provinces of mathematics exist solely to the "Finite" species.
4. Infinity is Impossible to all Logic: For instance: No Alpha, No Omega. [COME ON -How does that make any logical sense?] However the inverse of that is the "Finite", which grows and lives by way of hopeful logic, along with selfishness and illogic as well. But the decent goal for sentient beings is the "Golden Rule" and the growth of Knowledge to better humanities health and caring. But again, I begin to digress. But logic keeps on track, for which the "Infinite" and the "Finite" are of such implicit opposites, that they co-exist, but can never, will never and must never meet. "Just to repeat myself."
When dealing with the "Infinite" and the "Finite" we lose the ability to have a left hand and a right hand proof, since they are not able to communicate by logic or reason.
Therefore this is a "Twain That Shall Never Meet.
We live within this imponderable unknown of life itself. Both of the Finite (conscious, ego and boundaries) and Infinite (unconscious, no ego, and no boundaries).
So Co-Exsist, I will concede, but Meet, or understand the infinite from a finite life form. Just does not add up!
Cheers, Russ
PS... Thank you for the reference to read Mr. B.N. Sreenath. I have not do that yet, but will soon. Thanks much...
