If the whole earth is to be presented to us, we shall not feel secure. If all the sky also is under our possession, we cannot be secure. Endless is our longing. We want endless wealth, endless possessions, and endless duration of life in this world. Infinity is our asking, eternity is our desire.
Nobody wants anything less than eternal duration, eternal continuance.
Even if I have all the treasures of the whole world, infinity is in my grasp, if it is only for a few minutes, that is of no use. So, it has to also be eternal. Our infinitude should go together with eternity, also. Space and time should blend together, embrace each other in a fullness. You may call this the Absolute, if you like.
