The Cloud of Unknowing
Can I willingly let go of my knowledge in the face of an incomprehensible mystery?
📝ONGO's Reflection
To me, who tried to analyze and control everything by reason, this book left by some nameless monk of the fourteenth century was a fresh shock. The author says that to draw near to the deepest truth of life, we must bury all the knowledge we possess beneath a cloud of forgetting and leap, with a pure heart alone, into the cloud of unknowing. It is a book that stills our impatient hearts, forever straining to find the right answer. I hope you will meet the wondrous paradox that only when we wholly accept our not-knowing does the clearest awakening arrive.
