If the infinite exists,
The infinite must encompass the finite
because if it didn't it would be bounded

and thus not infinite.
In being contained within the infinite-

the finite binds the infinite
and thus- the infinite becomes whole.
In this- There is no distinction between the finite and infinite.
In order to be truly infinite-

the infinite must also be limited
because that is a realization of possibility.
So we live within a world which is simultaneously infinite and finite.
This is the divine spark which is 'imprisoned' in matter.
My body within this world is finite. This world is finite.
They both suffer the fate that they will one day grow old and die....
but the source from which I come is infinite.
It is the tao from which all things arise and return.
The perfect is the complete and all things are complete before they arise.
Samsara is nirvana. Nirvana is samsara.
The way OUT is IN. The way IN is OUT.
You see-
First- there is a mountain..

then there is no mountain.

Then there is.

Pūrṇam adaḥ pūrṇam idam (That is full, this is full)
pūrṇāt pūrṇam udacyate (From the full, the full is subtracted)
pūrṇasya pūrṇam ādāya (When the full is taken from the full)
pūrṇam evāvasiṣyate (The full still will remain.) - Isha Upanishad
