HOW WE KNOW ABOUT
THE LOGICAL MIND
ONE SHOULD USE INFORMATION AND LOGIC AS A DRUNKAND WOULD USE A LAMP POST, ONLY FOR SUPPORT, NOR FOR ILLUMINATION".
IF TO PERCEIVE THE MYSTICAL, ONE HAS TO DROP THE LOGICAL, HOW DOES A GNANA YOGI PROGRESS AND ATTAIN ON THE PATH? THAT PATH ALL ABOUT USING THE LOGICAL MIND AND DISSECTING THINGS?
IF YOUR LOGICAL INTELLECT COULD GRASP IT, WHY WOULD YOU CALL IT MYSTICAL? WHAT WE REFER TO AS THE MYSTICAL HAS BECOME MYSTICAL ONLY BECAUSE IT IS NOT WITHI THE GRASP OF THE LOGICAL INTELLECT.
A GNANA YOGI IS SOMEONE WHO USES HIS INTELLECT TO START WITH, AND THEN MOVES ON TO USE HIS INTELLIGENCE. IF HE IS JUST BOMBASTIC INTELLECT, HE IS NOT A GNANA YOGI. IF HE IS TRULY A GNANA YOGI, HE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE LOGICAL INTELLECT CAN NEVER FUNCTION WITHOUT INFORMATION. IF YOU TAKE AWAY ALL THE INFORMATION FROM YOUR MEMORY, HOW WILL YOUR LOGIC FUNCTION? LOGICAL INTELLECT IS PURELY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, AND INFORMATION IS SOMETHING THAT YOU GATHER FROM OUTSIDE. THE ONLY MEANS OF GATHERING INFORMATION IS THE FIVE SENSE ORGANS, AND SENSE PERCEPTION IS NOT RELIABLE. THEY HAVE TOLD YOU, SEEING IS BELEING ". SEEING IS NOT BELIEVING EVERYONE SEES WHAT THEY WANT TO SEE.
SENSE ORGANS CAN PERCEIVE EVERYTHING ONLY IN COMPARISON. IF YOU HAD NOT SEEN DARKNESS IN YOUR LIFE, YOU WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT LIGHT IS. IT IS ONLY IN COMPARISON THAT YOU KNOW WHAT LIGHT IS. NOW YOU SEE A LITTLE BOY WALKING AROUND. HE IS SMALL FOR YOU. BUT THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH. THE ANT WHICH IS CRAWLING ON THE GROUND EXPERIENCES HIM AS A GIANT. YOUR IDEAS OF SMALL AND BIG, YOUR IDEAS OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS, YOUR IDEAS OF GOOD AND BAD, ARE ALL DEPENDING UPON WHAT YOU ARE IDENTIFIED WITH. BECAUSE YOU ARE IDENTIFIED WITH THIS HUMAN BODY, A DINOSAUR IS BIG AND AN ANT IS SMALL. BUT THAT IS NOT THE REALITY. WHATEVER YOU EXPERIENCE IS ONLY IN COMPARISON, WHICH IS GOOD FOR SURVIVAL, BUT IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU A PERCEPTION OF REALITY THE WAY IT IS.
MODERN NEUROSCIENCES SAY THAT WHATEVER YOU MAY BE LOOKING AT, YOU ARE NEVER SEEING IT THE WAY IT IS. YOUR EYES ARE NOT LIKE CAMERAS. YOUR EYE JUST GRASPS INFORMATION AND CATEGORIES THIS INFORMATION INTO TWELVE DIFFERENT ASPECTS. THESE TWELVE DIFFERENT ASPECTS GO INTO TWELVE DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR BRAIN WHERE THEY ALL GET ASSIMILATED, AND YOUR BRAIN CREATES AN IMAGE. WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS, THE WAY YOU THINK THE WORLD LOOK IS NOT THE WAY IT IS. THIS IS NOT PHILOSOPHY OR MYSTICISM, THIS IS NEOROLOGY. THEY ARE ALSO SAYING THAT IF THERE IS NO PAST INFORMATION IN YOUR MIND, YOU ACTUALLY CANNOT SEE SOMETHING.
YOUR LOGIC FUNCTIONS ON INFORMATION. THE VERY NATURE OF INFORMATION IS SUCH THAT IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT VOLUME OF INFORMATION YOU GATHER, INFORMATION IS ALWAYS LIMITED. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LIMITELESS INFORMATION. EVEN AS MODERN SCIENCES PROCESS INFORMATON ABOUT THE EXISTENCE, WE ARE NOT GETTING ANY CLOSER TO KNOWING ANYTHING. WE ARE MORE BEWILDERED THAN EVER BEFORE. BEFORE MODERN SCIENCES CAME, IN THEIR OWN SIMPLISTIC WAY, PEOPLE WERE DEAD SURE OF WHAT IS WHAT. NOW NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING. SO MUCH INFORMATION HAS BEEN GATHERED, BUT IT HAS NOT MOVED YOU CLOSER TO KNOWING. IT HAS MOVED YOU AWAY FROM KNOWING BECAUSE THAT IS THE NATURE OF THE EXISTENCE. FIFTY YEARS AGO, A DOCTOR WAS JUST A DOCTOR. TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, A DOCTOR WAS NOT JUST A DOCTOR, THERE WAS ONE DOCTOR FOR THIS AND DOCTOR FOR THAT. THERE WERE THREE DIFFERENT DOCTORS THAT YOUR BODY NEEDED. TODAY THERE ARE OVER 100 SPECIALTIES, SO IF YOU REALLY WANT HEALTH, YOU NEED TO SEE 100 DOCTORS OR MORE.
LOGIC IS LIKE A SCALPEL. YOUR INTELLECT IS LIKE A SCALPEL. YOU CAN USE A SHARP INTELLECT TO CUT THINGS OPEN AND LOOK INWARD. BYT CUTTING ALONE, YOU WILL NOT KNOW - IT IS ONLY BY LOOKING THAT YOU WILL KNOW. YOUR INTELLECT AND LOGIC CAN ONLY CUT, IT CANNOT LOOK. YOUR LOGICAL INTELLECT CAN DO A PHENOMENAL AMOUNT OF LOGICAL CIRCUS.
IF YOU ARE NOT EXPOSED TO THE GREAT LOGICAL TRACES ON THIS PLANET, YOU ARE FORTUNATE, BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD HAVE PEOPLE USED THEIR LOGIC WITH SUCH DEVASTATING IMPACT AS INDIAN CULTURE HAS. THIS LAND HAS SEEN LOGIC AT ITS ULTIMATE. IF YOU GO INTO THE VEDANTIC PHILOSOPHY, LOGIC WILL RISE TO SUCH A STATE THAT IT WILL JUST FREAK YOU OUT COMPLETELY. REALLY USING IT LIKE A ROCKET, IT TAKES YOU TO A PLACE WHERE IT MAKES YOU DIZZY AND INTOXICATED.
THEN YOU REALIZE IT IS NOT GETTING ANYWHERE, IT IS JUST CAUSING DIZZINESS IN YOUR HEAD DUE TO EXCESSIVE USE OF LOGIC. THEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THIS CAN BE USED ONLY TO SLICE THINGS OPEN. IT IS NOT AN INSTRUMENT OF SEEING.
TO SEE, YOU NEED INTELLIGENCE, AND INTELLIGENCE IS NOT LOGICAL. FOR EXAMPLE, RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO LOOK AT YOUR BODY. ONE WAY TO LOOK AT THIS BODY IS AS A COMPLEX CHEMICAL FACTORY. THERE IS A CERTAIN INTELLIGENCE, WHICH IS MANAGING AND CONDUCTING THIS WHOLE DANCE OF CHEMISTRY. ARE YOU STUPID ENOUGH TO BELIEVE THAT YOU COULD SOMEDAY LOGICALLY CONDUCT THIS WHOLE CHEMICAL DANCE? YOU CANNOT MANAGE A SINGLE CELL IN YOUR BODY THAT WAY.
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE LIMITATION IN WHICH THE INTELLECT FUNCTIONS, AND THE DISTINCTION IN HOW THE INTELLIGENCE OF LIFE FUNCTIONS. WHAT YOU CALL AS INTELLIGENCE AND WHAT YOU REFER TO AS CREATOR ARE NOT DIFFERENT. CREATOR IS JUST PURE INTELLIGENCE. INTELLIGENCE BEYOND LOGIC IS CREATOR, OR WHAT YOU ARE REFERRING TO AS GOD. IF YOU OPERATE JUST WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS AND FRAMEWORK OF YOUR INTELLECT, YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THAT WHICH REFER TO AS THE CREATOR. YOU WILL JUST DO THE CIRCUS OF LIFE. LIFE IS A CIRCUS WHEN YOUR INTELLECT AND YOUR BODY ALONE ARE INVOLVED. LIFE IS A DANCE, WHEN THE INTELLIGENCE BEGINS TO PLAY ITS ROLE.
