The zero factor

An amazing question!

(please ignore the humble answer, it is just a feeble attempt. It is the question that is worth looking at. My answer, at best is aimed at only inspiring, motivating, persuading to delve deeper. “Nothing”—is in deed—more than that!

With ‘zeroing’ in of regards,

Is zero ever tangible?
Additional Details
Zero is never tangible in math.

My answer:
Ironically, "YES".
Unfortunately, ONLY to 'itself'.
The problem is, we have to become the "it". But right now we are stuck to "I.T." (just the information (about it) Technology!).Long ago, in ancient India, the Great Masters, made a very concise concept of it, when they had put it so simply: Tat Twam Asi (Thou art that)!

Zero represents "nothingness". Within our 'range' of perception, even the vast emptiness of that space, far beyond all those galaxies of the universe is still a 'space' not the 'nothingness' !

So, it feels so wonderful, when somebody says with such clarity, and certainty that Zero is NEVER tangible IN math! Yes, the very base of math is our ability to first "divide" all 'tangible" things (including the tangibles, conceptually, in abstractions as well...!).

So, OUT of math, is the next possibility. We merge into our very source, that intangible, unknowable, subtle nothingness, to become 'exclusively' tangible only at the highest level of consciousness! (here again, the word 'tangible' is used helplessly, and quite indicatively, or else, the whole attempt would collapse!).

Historians happen to say that (ancient) India gave 'zero' to the world. But, the fuzzy-patent to it seems to have been retained 'mystically' in the sophisticated antique-looking original name for that 'zero' called as "Shoonya"! The name is sophistication in itself! (Even today, the highest form of meditation is called by that very name!). There were no patent laws in ancient days. Documented laws imply the need for 'adjudicators'! Here, the very law itself adjudicates, as to who is eligible to 'see' it!

I have known that the Isha Yoga Centre at Coimbatore imparts initiation in 'Shoonya Meditation'. I wish I get a chance to undergo that initiation as early as possible.
