KNOWING THROUGH UNKNOWING - August 27th, 2023

Join Swami Padmanabha as he dips into the paradox of knowing through unknowing. How much can we know of an unlimited Divine Person who is constantly and continually becoming more himself in love. To think we know god because we have some information about him, even highly detailed information, is not the end of, and may not even have anything to do with, developing a transformed heart.

God is the ultimate mystery and we have to be ok with mystery and not driven by a need for certitude, to cancel darkness and liminality. For most, mystery is to be solved, closed so that our vulnerabilities need not be disclosed.

Certitude stifles our progress. Co-existing with Mystery creates the space for spontaneous wonder, adventure and discovery.
