That Parabrahman is pūrṇam, is symbolized with a circle that we recognize as zero. When you place a zero after a number, the value of that number increases. The more zeros you add to that number, the bigger the value is. On the other hand, when you place a zero before a number, no matter how many zeros you add, the value is going to stay the same. If you multiply any big number you want with zero, the value is going to be zero. What a wonderful concept our ancient sages thought of! The fullness and auspiciousness of that pūrṇatvam came to their realization during deep meditation or tapas. Even western philosophers and psychologists came to our country and learned about the pūrṇam and wrote books, and started teaching in prestigious universities about this concept as graduate and postgraduate research material. Only those who understand the deeper meaning of pūrṇam can appreciate its depth of knowledge.
