ॐ पूर्णमद पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते ।
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ।।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ।।
That is complete. This is complete. The complete was born out of complete. Taking the complete from the complete, what remains is still complete.
Om peace ... peace ... peace ...

My personal observation : Yet to find a better definition of the mathematical 'infinity' !
ॐ भद्रं कर्णेभिः श्रुणुयाम देवा भद्रं पश्येमाक्षभिर्यजत्रा।
स्थिरैरङ्गैस्तुष्टिवां सस्तनूभिर्व्यशेम देवहितं यदायुः ।
स्वस्ति न इन्द्रो वृद्धश्रवाः स्वस्ति नः पूषा विश्ववेदाः।
स्वस्ति नस्ताक्षर्यो अरिष्टनेमिः स्वस्ति नो बृहस्पतिर्दधातु।।
ॐ शान्तिः शान्तिः शान्तिः ।।
Om. O gods, may we , with our ears, hear what is auspicious. O ye fit to be worshipped, may we, with our eyes see what is auspicious. May we enjoy the life allotted to us be the gods, offering our praise with our bodies strong of limb. May Indra, the powerful, the ancient of fame, vouchsafe our prosperity. May He, the nourisher and the possessor of all wealth, give us what is well for us. May the Lord of swift motion be propitious to us and may the protector of the great ones protect us too.
Om peace ... peace ... peace ...
