Shvetashvatara Upanishad 5.9Famous
beginner
बालाग्रशतभागस्य शतधा कल्पितस्य च। भागो जीवः स विज्ञेयः स चानन्त्याय कल्पते॥
bālāgraśatabhāgasya śatadhā kalpitasya ca | bhāgo jīvaḥ sa vijñeyaḥ sa cānantyāya kalpate ||
"If the tip of a hair were divided into a hundred parts, and one of those into a hundred again - the individual soul would be of that dimension. Yet it is capable of infinity."
What This Means:
If a hair-tip were divided into 100 parts, then again into 100 - the soul is that small. Yet this tiny soul can realize infinity.
Going Deeper:
The jiva is infinitesimally subtle, yet has the capacity for infinite realization. Size does not limit spiritual potential.
How To Apply This:
Don't be deceived by your apparently limited individual self. It is capable of realizing the infinite.
