rahner on knowledge
One of the books I bought during Christmas was a small one, but one proving to be packed full of good stuff in that small package - Encounters with Silence , by Karl Rahner. I read little pieces of it here and there. The book is in the form of many prayers and reflections from Rahner on different subjects. The following quote I'd like to share with you is from the chapter called God of Knowledge. Note: this was written by a heavyweight scholar/theologian. Very good.Knowledge seems more like a kind of pain-killing drug that I have to take repeatedly against the boredom and desolation of my heart. And no matter how faithful I may be to it, it can never really cure me. All it can give me is words and concepts, which perform the middleman's service of expressing and interpreting reality to me, but can never still my heart's craving for the reality itself, for true life and true possession. I shall never be cured until all reality comes streaming like an ecstatic, intoxicating melody into my heart.
