Logic or
rational analysis is good, it helps in ascertaining the truth and getting rid
of blind faith, superstitions, mindless customs and rituals, and to a good
extent gives proper direction( to the mind), but it has a certain limit. The
enlightening zeal of life –force wakens by the devotional spark of sraddha and
not by logic. It is sraddha that inspires and nutures inner strength,
self-determination, willingness to sacrifice, unflinching commitment
to high ideals. When a man stays unmoved like
an iron-pillar boldly rejecting the alluring attractions of greed and willing
facing torture and advertsities, it is
clear indiction that he has taken roots in the strong foundation of
devotion. Thoughts generated by logic alone are in fact very weak, they lie
helter-skelter by a small push like a sand castle. The scriptures of
spirituality
lay glorious significance
to the guru( spiritual master). At several places Guru has been placed at a
higher realm than that of God . He has been described at par with lord Brahma,
lord Bhisnu and lord Shiva, and devotion to a divine Gurghu has been stated as
higher than worshiping God. In this there has been an effort to sow seeds of
sraddha through the medium of an enlightened person.
