The teachers of paradoxical logic say that man can perceive reality only in contradictions, and can never perceive in thought the ultimate reality-unity, the One itself.  This led to the consequence that one did not seek as the ultimate aim to find the answer in thought.  Thought can only lead us to the knowledge that it cannot give us the ultimate answer.  The world of thought remains caught in the paradox.  The only way in which the world can be grasped ultimately lies, not in thought, but in the act, in the experience of oneness.  Thus, paradoxical logic leads to the conclusion that the love of God is neither the knowledge of God in thought, nor the thought of one's love of God, but the act of experiencing the oneness with God.'
