Card-E-14-22. DH on the Bible: The Bible has to be unknown to be appreciated. I had to forget it for ten years to find it live again. So society is now forgetting or unknowing it. You cannot go on knowing anything in a living way indefinitely. You must retire from it rhythmically, periodically. Knowing and unknowing are aspects of the one activity.
Now there is cross fertilisation between what I can bring by way of other experience to my study of the Bible.
Now, having studied the Upanishads etc. I can evaluate the Bible more truly. It is indeed incomparable.
