Description

Acharya Prashant explains that logic is a useful tool with a specific place, such as in the functioning of technology or the construction of sentences. In spirituality, logic is necessary to remove illogicality, irrationality, and foolishness from the mind. However, logic cannot lead one to the ultimate destination because it is bound by cause and effect, past and future, and mental boundaries. The ultimate truth is beyond logic and the mind. He cautions that while truth is beyond logic, one should not mistake nonsense or lack of intelligence for being beyond logic. He emphasizes that the absence of sense is usually just nonsense, and the absence of thought is usually just thoughtlessness. Furthermore, he speaks of a certain 'moisture' or 'wetness' of the heart, which is not the same as being sentimental or emotional. He distinguishes between tears shed due to thinking or specific causes—like an actor remembering a sad event—and tears that flow without any cause. He advocates for this causeless moisture of the eyes and heart, which arises from a state beyond the mental process.
