Mysticism speaks of a spiritual knowing, which is not rational and is independent of reason, logic or images. <i>Da`at</i> is Hebrew for “the secret sphere of knowledge on the cosmic tree.” <i>Gnosis</i> is Greek for the “intuitive apprehension of spiritual truths.” <i>Jnana</i> is Sanskrit for “knowledge of the way” to approach Brahman. <i>Ma`rifa</i> in Arabic is “knowledge of the inner truth. <i>”Panna</i> in Pali is “direct awareness”; perfect wisdom. These modes of suprarational knowing, perhaps described as complete intuitive insight, are not divine oneness; they are actualizing our inherent abilities to come closer to the goal. It is consummate cognition, unmediated discernment, with certainty. <i>“Great [spiritual] knowledge, round and clear, looks at a fine hair and comprehends the ocean of nature; the source of reality is clearly manifest in one atom, yet illumines the whole being. When myriad phenomena arrive, they must be at the same time, in one space; noumenon [spiritual essence] has no before or after.”</i> Fa-Tsang [Hsien-shou] B <i>“...most beautiful and profound emotion we can experience is the sensation of the mystical. It is the sower of all true science. To know that what is impenetrable to us really exists, manifesting itself as the highest wisdom and most radiant beauty - which our dull faculties can comprehend only in their primitive form - this knowledge, this feeling, is at the center of all religion.”</i> Albert Einstein J <i>“The knower and the known are one. Simple people imagine they should see God, as if He stood there and they here. This is not so. God and I, we are one in [spiritual] knowledge.”</i> [Meister] Eckhart C <i>“The Sufi who knows the Ultimate Truth sets and speaks in a manner which takes into consideration the understanding, limitations and dominant concealed prejudices of his audience. To the Sufi, worship means [spiritual] knowledge. Through knowledge he attains sight. The Sufi abandons the three “I’s. He does not say ‘for me’, ‘with me’, or ‘my property’. He must not attribute anything for himself.”</i> Ibn El-Arabi I <i>“...therefore, in order to achieve that state of Silence which is beyond thought and word, either the path of [spiritual] knowledge, which removes the sense of “I,” or the path of devotion, which removes the sense of “mine,” will suffice. So there is no doubt that the end of the paths of devotion and knowledge is one and the same.”</i> Ramana Maharishi H (quoted from my e-book at http://www.suprarational.org ) Endless Love, absolute Truth and ultimate Reality are beyond rational knowledge.
