You have to Totally forget first!

[LSD-Rumi]

"Someone told Ryōkan that if you find money on the road you will be very happy. One day, after he had received some coins during a begging trip, he decided to try it. He scattered the coins along the road and then picked them up. He did this several times but did not feel particularly happy, and he wondered what his friend had meant. He tried it a few more times and in the process lost all the money in the grass. After searching for a long time he finally found all the money he had lost. He was very happy. “Now I understand,” he thought; “to find money on the road is indeed a joy.”

God has to totally forget itself, to experience the immense pleasure of self-rediscovery.

This makes Ryokan sound like a moron with an IQ of 60.
