Kena Upanishad Verse 10

Kena Upanishad Verse 2.2

The nature of spiritual knowledge is paradoxical. The seeker explains that knowledge of the Absolute is not like ordinary knowledge; it is a profound recognition that is neither complete ignorance nor finite ‘knowing’ of an object.

nāhaṃ manye suvedeti no na vedeti veda ca |
yo nastadveda tadveda no na vedeti veda ca || 10 ||

I do not think I know well; I know too; not that I do not know. He of us who knows that, knows that as also what is meant by ‘I know too; not that I do not know.’
