That is, that we still do not know anything at all, not at all. This also is what has been described, that "the purpose of knowing is not knowing", that is: even with every single knowledge [one still does not know]. Meaning, that even when one arrives to the purpose of knowledge - that one does not know - even then, this is not [really] the purpose. It is only the purpose of that specific knowledge. But with regard to a knowledge higher than that, one has still not yet begun at all - and so it is, higher and higher. Therefore, in truth we do not know anything at all - and even so, this is not the purpose [of knowledge]! Because we still have not begun to know any knowledge higher than that knowledge, [the knowledge] to which we have reached the purpose of "not knowing".

Greatness of Hashem

  • A person's awareness of Hashem's greatness is a personal experience that only he perceives in his heart at that moment.
    • It is not tangible and varies from day to day.
    • It is impossible to convey your understanding of Hashem's greatness to another person.
    • Nor is it possible to fully recall your awareness of Hashem's greatness that you experienced on a different day.[1]
  • Hashem's greatness is endless, for there are constantly very wonderous and awesome things occurring in the world, that we are not even aware of at all.
    • Although it is a high level to reach a point where you realize that you do not know anything at all, that is still limited to your current level of knowledge, where you realize there is a lot more to know, that you do not know at all. However there are higher levels and aspect of knowledge, that you do not even know that they exist and have not even begun at all to even know about these levels to even acknowledge that that you do not know anything about them. So to there are higher and higher levels.[2]


That is, that we still do not know anything at all, not at all. This also is what has been described, that "the purpose of knowing is not knowing", that is: even with every single knowledge [one still does not know]. Meaning, that even when one arrives to the purpose of knowledge - that one does not know - even then, this is not [really] the purpose. It is only the purpose of that specific knowledge. But with regard to a knowledge higher than that, one has still not yet begun at all - and so it is, higher and higher. Therefore, in truth we do not know anything at all - and even so, this is not the purpose [of knowledge]! Because we still have not begun to know any knowledge higher than that knowledge, [the knowledge] to which we have reached the purpose of "not knowing".
