The task is not to know the unknown but to be penetrated with it.



"To think of God is not to find Him as an object of our minds, but to find ourselves in Him . . . , a perception of our being perceived.  The task is not to know the unknown but to be penetrated with it; not to know but to be known to Him, to expose ourselves to Him rather than Him to us."

Rabbi Abraham Heschel
