Jain Canonical Scriptures and Mathematics Every religion irrespective of its name, is divisible into two distinct and distinguishable aspects of its manifestations (1) the spiritual aspect and (2) the aspect of worship of karma. Almost all spiritual doctrines can be abstractly traced in the properties of mathematical concepts of zero and infinity, signifying respectively the beginning and the end of all creations." The following verse of the Iśāvāsyöpanişad reflects the concept of spiritual perfection as well as the concept of infinity.
ॐ पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं, पूर्णात् पूर्णमुदच्यते । पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ।। OM pūrņamadaḥ pūrņamnidam, pārņāt pūrņamudacyatē. būrņasya pūrņamādāya pūrņamēvāvaśisyatē ..
