Re: God is only one proved by Hindu holy books
0 (zero) is usually treated as space (emptiness).
1, the unity of consciousness, is the common denominator of all numbers including zero.
If 1, as the unity of consciousness, is resolved (spread out) in space, that is, as 1/0, it expands to infinity.
Same way, any other number resolved in space attains infinity.
Any number is nothing but that many counts of one.
That is, the number 2 is just a group name for two ones and so on.
The more the count, the farther the number is from the unity, but the unity as one is always the common denominator.
Any number, to attain the unity of one, should lose its apparent individual identity (eg. 5/5).
A number that is obsessed with its apparent individuality, and tries to expand that individuality in space (say 5 x 0), becomes nothing (zero). If it tries to hide under the emptiness of zero (as 0 / 5), with no belief in the one-ness (1) of God, it becomes nothing again.
Only when the space of zero is under/within it, (as 5 / 0), that is in its hRdaya--heart, and not over its head (as 0 / 5), it unites with the consciousness of the One, and expands into infinity.
What do the whole numbers and fractions represent?
We may say that the whole numbers represent the multiple forms of the one consciousness, that is the infinite number of souls--jivas or sentient beings.
Fractions--bhinna, of ONE, represent the apparent divisions of the One consciousness into the different forms of inert--achetana, matter which range from the tiniest atom to the largest ocean, and also encase the jIvas. The divisions are only apparent because even with fractions, the unity of One is always under as the common denominator.

1 = infinite numbers of infinitismal parts
All are belonging to the superset called 1
So how do we define 1 ?

To her whose feet are washed by the ocean, who wears the Himalayas as her crown, and is adorned with the gems of rishis and kings, to Mother India, do I bow down in respect.
