Sounds strange, right?
But here’s why:
Human knowledge is always limited. We use words, logic, comparisons. But G-d is infinite, beyond all boxes.
So the closer we get, the more we realize: “I can’t fully grasp Him.” That’s not failure. That’s true knowing.
And yet, G-d gives us moments we can feel. A flash of love. A burst of awe. A calm you didn’t expect. Through those moments, we actually know Him more.
When we think we’ve “figured G-d out,” we’re far. When we accept we can’t, we’re close.
Because closeness isn’t about control. It’s about wonder and curiosity.
Real knowledge of G-d is wonder. It’s standing in awe. It’s being humbled by mystery.

The blog lists all the difference patterns to study, understanding patterns is how one can develop 'Daas' [felt knowing].
Update: As awe, trust, and love deepen, they can allow greater openness and intimacy with the Creator. That intimacy can include sadness when you notice how much more of His goodness can be revealed.
