Spiritual Living

Here’s an easy way to get this:

Picture the Universe, picture how big the Universe is and however big it is, scientists tell us it’s expanding.

How big is infinity? Really big! Bigger than everything else put together!

According to recent figures, the universe is 156 billion light years wide. (I don’t know how tall.) So that’s really big. Here’s the thing: In Vyasa’s commentary
on Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras (a book that describes developing certain powers), he talks about the size of the heavens, goes on for pages and pages, then says, “Compared to infinity, this whole creation [156 billion light years] is like a firefly in the sky.”

Wow.

I don’t know where this comes from, but I’ve heard that from outside the universe, it looks like a golden egg.

It’s called “hiranyagarbha.”

I don’t know how you could look at it from outside the universe. If you went outside the universe, first of all, it’s a long walk. Secondly, as you near the edge, the universe would expand. (It just would!) Has to do with time/space moving. But the thing is, the universe is expanding anyway.

If it’s expanding, what is it expanding into? Infinity.

Now, the thing about infinity is, it’s infinite! It has no boundaries.

It doesn’t start at the edge of the universe and go on from there:

Infinity starts here??? I don’t think so.

Infinity has no boundaries, no starting point or ending point (that’s what makes it infinite). So, if the universe is expanding into infinity, infinity must also go into or under the universe we know.

It’s everywhere!

It’s even here:

It’s even here:

Infinity is here:

And here:

Imagine that’s you! So if infinity is everywhere—even within you—
