That evening I was on my usual stroll in the park..
"Hello!"
I looked back. There was nothing..
Thinking I heard something wrong, I turned and continued my walk..
"Hello!"
"Who is this? I see nothing!"
I said..
"You won't see me!"
"Won't see you? Funny.. Who are you?"
"I am Zero!"
"What?"
"Yes.. I am Zero.. I want to make friends with you!"
"I can't see you.. You are nothing.. What's the use of friendship with you?"
"Don't say that.. You don't know my importance!"
"What is that importance of you?"
"In Hindu Philosophy, I represent more than a numerical place holder, acting as profound symbol of nothingness (Shunyata) and the boundary between existence and non existence. In Philosophy, Neti Principle (Na+Iti) is negating everything around (Making it Zero) is the way of rising in life towards..
The Ultimate Reality and Brahman!"
My dream got disturbed and as rubbed my eyes and got up from bed, I found it was early morning hrs. As I moved towards my window to open the curtains, in some distance, chanting of Mantras were heard over the temple loud speakers..

'om puurnamadah puurnamidam puurnaat puurna mudachyate
puurnsya puurnamaadaaya puurnameva vashishissyate
om shaantih shaantih shaantih!'
'That (Outer World) is Whole (full of divine consciousness); This (Inner World) is also Whole (full of divine consciousness).
From that Whole comes this whole
From that Whole, this whole removed
Indeed what remains is the Whole
Om Peace Om Peace Om Peace!'
