A conversation transpired with my niece recently. She was pulling at my swimming goggles.
“Don’t. It will break.”, I said.
“It’s elastic.”, she replied.
“It is rubber.”
“But it stretches.”
“Sure. But everything has a limit.”
“What is my limit?”, she asked.
“You would have to find that out.”
Then I added, “Actually you are infinite.”
“What do you mean by infinite?”
“Unlimited.”
“How is something unlimited?”
“When it has no beginning or end.”
“So I will not have an end?”
“No. You are unlimited.”
“So I will not go to heaven?”
“Why not? Of course you will go to heaven. But you do not have to end to go to heaven. To go somewhere you just have to go there. To go to Bhopal you just go to Bhopal. You don’t have to end to go to Bhopal.”
“I didn’t know I am unlimited.”
“Now you know.”
“Then you too are unlimited.”
“Yes. Indeed I am.”
