One Or Zero

Recently I happened to read an article in a magazine in
Tamil publishing spiritual topics.
A particular article interested me.
I furnish hereunder the details in the conversation format between a computer geek sishya and a Guru.
sishya;-What is spirituality? or vedantha
Gur:-spirituality teaches that all beings are one.It signifies
universal oneness.
si;-what does that mean?
G:-It means all creatures including animals and non human
objects are as good as human beings.
The Sanskrit phrase'vasudhaiva kutumbakam' stresses the
concept that the entire universe is my family and all beings are one. Spirituality or vedantha emphasizes the need to be humble
and not to have ego or arrogance arising out of intellect or power
or status.
S;- If all beings are one. where does God fit into?
G:-One may realise that God,the Supreme is essentially a state of ZERO ,the state in which one is desireless.
S:-Spiritually speaking, what should be the aim of of one's life?
G:-Spiritually the ultimate aim of a human being is to transform
himself from the state of ONE to the state of ZERO.
S:-How is religiosity different from spirituality?
G:-Religiosity describes human beings as ZERO.In many of the
religious discourses we hear that we are NOTHING but a miniscule of God.To say that without God , one is nothing but ZERO.
S:Just like spiritualiry, does religiosity also treat all creatures equal?
G:Religiosity conceives that human beings with reason are in a better plane than animals and plants.
S:- If all beings are ZERO, where does God fit in as per religiosity?
G:-As per Religiosity ,God,the supreme is in the higher realm of ONEness..God is one.
'Sabkaa malik EK'--Sai Baba said
S:-what is the aim of life as per religiosity?
G:-As per Religiosity the aim of man is to transform himself
from ZERO to ONE.
Now do you consider yourself -as ZERO or ONE?
S:- Perhaps I have to consult Google Guru for answering this
question.If I don't get any answer,I shall consider myself a bit of ZERO and ONE-- a binary code for computers.
Today is the world of computers.It needs both ZERO and ONE and various combinations of ZEROs and ONEs
Does it mean we need both spirituality and religiosity?

Moral:-It is better to lead a life of your own, doing good to the best possible ways, accepting challenges of life as it comes.
It does not matter whether one is branded spiritual or religious?
A big full stop to ONE and ZERO. Let us be our own selves.
