24th Khanda of Chapter Seven, Chandogya UpanishadChandogya Upanishad is one of the oldest Upanishads written on the Vedic Brahmana period about ninth to eighth century BC. Chandogya Upanishad is associated with Sama Veda. It is a part of Chandogya Brahaman that contains ten chapters. The 24th Khanda of Chapter Seven of Chandogya Upanishad states about the infinite and the finite. Sanatkumara here teaches Narada about the infinite and the finite. He told him that infinite is when one sees nothing else, hears nothing else and understands nothing else. However, when a person sees something else, hears something else and understands something else it is finite. The Infinite is immortal, the finite is mortal. Narada then asked him in what does the infinite find its support to which Sanatkumara replied that the infinite finds its support in its own greatness.
