+    In vedanta there are three types of limits -
+    \texthindi{देशः}
+    (Spatial)
+    \texthindi{कालः}
+    (Temporal) and
+    \texthindi{वस्तु}
+    (Object). Things are limited in space - even the big stars and galaxies.
+    They have a start and an end. When you don't have a spatial limitation,
+    then you become omnipresent - you don't begin anywhere and you don't end
+    anywhere; in that way you are present everywhere in space. Limitation of
+    time - everything is created and is destroyed; we are born and we will die.
+    There are limits in time when something or someone exists and beyond those
+    limits, existence of that something or someone ceases. Again, even bigger
+    objects, like our Sun and billions of other Stars have this temporal
+    limitation - at one point they were created and at some point they will die
+    and cease to exist. When something doesn't have a temporal limitation, it
+    becomes eternal - there never will be a time it will not be. There was
+    never a time when it was born as it already existed and there never will be
+    a time when it will die as it will always exist. Limitation of object means
+    that an entity is what it is and nothing else. It is limited by its
+    identity. If there's a book, then it can't be anything else except a book.
+    It is a limitation as it doesn't allow one to be anything else except
+    himself. When something doesn't have a limitation of being itself and
+    different from everything else, then it means that it is not different
+    from anything else in the entire universe - Nothing else is different from
+    it and it becomes non-dual, as there is no second thing appart from it. All
