Mathematics: The Path to Self-Realization (Part 2)

A Spiritual Interpretation through Geometry and Numbers

By Rakesh kushwaha 

Dear math lovers, teachers, parents, and learners,

It’s time to share Part 2 of "Self-Realisation through Mathematics."

Mathematics is not merely a subject — it is the very cycle of human life itself.

Thank you for your love for Part 1 (“Mathematics — The Path of Self-Realisation”) and for motivating me to continue this journey with Part 2.

I warmly welcome your reflections and open feedback.

Six : The Hexagon of Harmony

Six signifies balance. The hexagon, found in nature’s finest designs , from snowflakes to honeycombs , embodies perfect efficiency.

It teaches that divine creation wastes nothing; every act, every breath, fits into a pattern of order.

When we align our lives with this sacred geometry, we experience the calm precision of the cosmos.

Seven : The Spectrum of Awakening

Seven colours, seven notes, seven chakras: all emerge from one source of light and sound.

Mathematically, seven bridges the finite and the infinite.

Spiritually, it is the ladder of awakening , from base desires to crown consciousness.  

Each step upward refines the vibration of the soul until silence itself becomes music.

Eight : The Octagon of Infinity

Turn the number 8 sideways and it becomes ∞ , the symbol of endless flow.

It reminds us that beginnings and endings are illusions; all forms dissolve and re-emerge.

Eight teaches equanimity,  rise and fall, joy and sorrow , are symmetrical arcs on the same curve of time.

Nine : The Circle of Completion

Nine brings closure. Multiply any number by 9, add its digits , you return to 9.

It mirrors the cycle of birth and rebirth,  where experience purifies the soul until it remembers its source.

Nine whispers: “You are already whole.”

The Circle : Wholeness of Existence

The circle has no beginning and no end. It encloses everything yet remains open to the infinite.

It is the geometry of the universe , the mandala of meditation. 

To live within this circle is to realize that separation is only perception , the centre and the circumference are one consciousness.

The Sphere : The Living Cosmos

Extend the circle into three dimensions and you meet the sphere , perfect in every direction.

Planets, cells, water drops , all choose this form because it reflects balance under universal law.

Spiritually, the sphere symbolizes Pūrṇatā , completeness. Every soul, when awakened, becomes a radiant sphere of awareness.

Infinity : The Silent Equation of God

Infinity (∞) is not a number but a state of being , limitless, uncountable, beyond comprehension.

Science calls it boundless; spirituality calls it Brahman.

When the mind transcends logic, it touches infinity - where mathematics ends and meditation begins.

Equation : The Balance of Life

Every equation seeks equality , both sides in perfect balance.

So does life. Actions and reactions, cause and consequence, karma and grace , all are variables in the grand equation of existence.

When the equation of our thoughts and deeds balances with truth, peace emerges as the constant.

From Geometry to God-Realization

Mathematics is not merely about numbers; it is the silent language of the universe.

Every figure, every formula, carries a vibration of divine logic.

The journey from dot to infinity is our own pilgrimage — from self to Self, from I to Aham Brahmāsmi.

When the seeker understands the geometry of life, the mathematician within becomes a mystic.

Epilogue 

From Geometry to God-Realization 

In every line, angle, and curve, the universe whispers a truth - nothing exists without balance.

Mathematics, in its silence, unveils the same mystery that sages once sang in mantras.

The dot, the circle, the infinite — all are symbols of one eternal consciousness.

When we begin to see rather than calculate, every theorem becomes a prayer, and every number becomes a note in the cosmic symphony.

One day, when knowledge bows to awareness, the seeker softly declares -

“Aham Brahmāsmi — I am That.”

From the Desk of the Author

For years, I kept wondering - Who am I? Why am I here? What is the true purpose of life? Where will I go after all this? Why do we live and die?

Through deep study of various holy scriptures across faiths, I searched for answers.

By the grace of Goddess Saraswati,  a realization dawned upon me.

Meri kya auqaat ki main universe par kuchh bhi bol sakoon!

Whatever I have experienced, I have expressed in simple, ordinary words.

All religions, though they walk different paths, ultimately reach one conclusion -

There is only One Supreme Source.

The names differ, but the destination is the same.

My intention is not to question or hurt any belief.

This humble writing is merely an offering , a sharing of thoughts born from reflection, learning, and gratitude.

May it inspire seekers to see the divine pattern hidden in every number, every shape, and every breath.

With reverence and love,
