There is a lot of pseudoscience and superstition being floated in the name of spirituality by people who you are influenced by. And therefore, the common man gets the message that spirituality means some mumbo-jumbo. Spirituality is not this godman business. In fact, a really spiritual man can never contradict science. If you are really logical, you will turn spiritual. You have no option. Spirituality is the natural destiny of logic.

Questioner: "Sir, you are a very logical person, why do you present yourself as a spiritual person?"
Acharya Prashant: Should I answer the question or the assumption? Where do you pick such jewels from, Gaurav (questioner's name)? Your assumption is that spirituality or religion is anti-logic or illogical. From where are you getting it? I am not blaming you for asking this question. I am just alarmed. There is some source in your life from where you get a clear idea that spirituality and logic do not go together.
Spirituality is the very zenith of logic, Gaurav. Spirituality and logic go hand-in-hand. It is just that spirituality is so deeply logical that a point comes when logic cannot keep up with it. So spirituality and logic go hand-in-hand and at some point, logic gets tired and falls down and spirituality still keeps going. Then you say that spirituality has surpassed logic, transcended logic. But in surpassing logic, spirituality never becomes illogical or anti-logical. There is nothing in spirituality that will be against logic; it can be beyond logic, all right, but never against logic.
