My older brother has been a Buddhist student for the last few years. He randomly creates conversations with me to tell me of his recent learning, such as the one below. We both have engineering degrees so it helps to speak in math terms sometimes with each other:
Infinity is the division of anything by zero.
= X/0 (If you want infinity of something, you must have 0 of something else.)
To achieve infinite wisdom, you must have zero ignorance, where ignorance is the lack of understanding of cause and effect.
Therefore, to achieve infinite wisdom, you must understand the karmic effect of your actions and what happens to you. Once you understand the karmic effect of your actions, it doesn’t matter what comes your way or what “X” is.
It is impossible to achieve infinite wisdom when we are continually inflicted by ignorance, even if the ignorant level is .000000001. Infinite wisdom is only possible with absolute zero of ignorance.
