I have a question though:

So are they all infinity?

praNAms Sri Shankara prabhuji
Hare Krishna

Rephrasing the above question like a statement would throw more light on advaitic siddhAnta.  Instead of asking question, if we make the statement : infinite is all.  The very definition of anantha (infinite) is all pervading, there is nothing left out of it.  Hence shruti says : sarvaM khalvidaM brahma.  Jagat aloof from brahman mithya, jeeva aloof from brahman mithyA too and both have trasactionational reality as well hence vyAvahArika satya.  But when one realizes that there exists nothing apart from brahmaN, both jeeva and jagat brahmaiva na aparaH.  So, IMHO, when we say jagat is kevala vyAvahArika satya (keeping the aloofness of it from brahman / parichinnatva etc.) invariably we have to add socalled jeevatva (parichinnatvaM) is also mithyA only.  What remains in paramArthika is :  ekam eva adviteeyaM it is neither jeeva nor jagat, na antaH prajna, na bahirprajna, prapanchOpashamanaM, shivam, shAntaM and advaitaM.

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
