The Key to Finding God: Mar 26, 9:10am 8 reviews spirituality, hinduism
http://blog.atmajyoti.org/2008/03/the-key-to-finding-god/; From the page: "He by whom Brahman is not known, knows It; he by whom It is known, knows It not. It is not known by those who know It; It is known by those who do not know It." (Kena Upanishad 2:3) Obviously the word "know" has two meanings here. One is the mere intellection about Brahman, the other is knowledge derived from the direct experience of Brahman, from conscious union with Brahman. There is a knowing that is unknowing and an unknowing that is knowing. That is why Swami Prabhavananda renders the Kena verse: "He truly knows Brahman who knows him as beyond knowledge; he who thinks that he knows, knows not. The ignorant think that Brahman is known, but the wise know him to be beyond knowledge."
