Home beyond reason

 God can not be understood with reason because the reason is the power of the mind to analyze relations existing in the world and create foundations of the work in the world according to the principles on which the reason is based. Reason is tied to the will of man and governed by the goal to accommodate the sphere of the living where matter moves following principles and laws. God is not bound to any law or principles which govern the motions of the world. All move in God, but God remains unmoved by the events of the world. Therefore through reasoning one can never understand the mystery of God.

 God is revealed to the enlightened mind as a mystery which can not be understood by reason. However, without a framework of the will, where reason exists in the world, it is not possible to talk about the nature of God and what God may want to communicate. Reason acts as a lens which can make things sharper and clearer when one looks at the diffuse and effusive experiences of the human mind in confronting the realm of the Divine. The unknown and the unseen take shape according to how one reasons, and how one attempts to unveil the mystery of the Divine in words, images or by any other means. Every understanding of anything must accompany language and thoughts, which are bound to the world where will manifests. And consequently reason intervenes in the process of understanding the experiences occurring in the world. When reason is switched off, the experiences become jumbled up in non-verbal pathways. It becomes the domain of silence instead. So when one wishes to speak of God, and wants to communicate about the nature of God, the reason has its place.

 So every description of God suffers from the fault of reason and conceptions of the world the human mind bears. With increasing awareness of the mind and access of the mind to higher spheres, which may transcend the logical bounds of the traditional languages and constraints of the worldly experiences, like music and meditation for example, the understanding of God may become sharper and clearer. Enlightened mind does not wish to understand God. It wishes to  be released from the bondages of the world and the will and move towards the Divine.

 So do not cling to reason. Cling to higher awareness  of the mind and submit the will to the Higher Will. Believe that God communicates with the world through enlightened minds who are neither tied to the movements of the will and the world, nor free from the human sphere.
