514. Faith begins when Reasoning ends……

http://www.speakingtree.in/spiritual-blogs/seekers/self-improvement/faith-begins-when-reasoning-ends

Mind looks for a reason behind every phenomenon in this universe. It studies the patterns of repetitions as in seasonal changes or sequence of replications as in evolution and records the cause for the effect. Anything that obeys these patterns and sequence is considered as logical and those which differ from these patterns and sequence are termed illogical. So in short that which is logical is something which is based on reasoning.

Here we need to understand that these patterns or sequences that occur were not orchestrated by any of those minds which have observed and studied them. Hence they cannot do any modifications or changes. What they have studied and observed and recorded are on phenomenons which are happening naturally authored by some power to which they do not have access. Mind merely realized these patterns and sequences through study and observation.

The influence of Gravity, Inertia and Force were present even before they were recorded as laws by our scientists. And further there are many phenomenons which are to be observed and recorded for our references later in many areas. Reasoning is based on facts and on proven or accepted laws. Objective facts or review of a situation without any subjective aspect sneaking into it is essential for logical assumptions. This is possible only if one is not prejudiced or biased. Normally, people believe in what they like to believe in and pass it off as logical for others to acknowledge. This blog does not discuss that kind of reasoning here. There are some areas which is very difficult to source the pattern of repetition like in the study of mind, emotions and will, for which we have to rely on faith.

Faith is an intense belief on something which it is beyond the power of reasoning. For instance, a child has faith in the love and affection of its parents and hence it does not question their actions, even when it seems like their actions are not acceptable to the child. That is immense faith. Immense Faith on what I believe reflects a compelling urge from inside to remain devoted sincerely to whatever I have faith in. There is no need for me to look for logical explanations or have doubts or confusions. It is accepting without any reservation or condition. For instance, if I have faith in God I accept without any reservation or condition that it is the power that has authority which organizes the cause for every effect.

Now how did that faith dwell in me to think that it is some power which provides systemized cause for every effect???

When something cannot provide a logical reason it does not mean it is illogical there are chances that the logic could be beyond my realm of thinking or even understanding. If I can go to the roots of it I can surely find the reason for it too. Just like how the operating manual is provided for a layman to operate a television, there are scriptures which guide the seekers. If the seeker can go into finding the Truth he can do so, just as the serviceman understand the electronic appliances beyond its operating manual by studying the circuit diagram. There is place for both the operating manual as well as the circuit diagram. The serviceman cannot demean the operating manual just because he has the circuit diagram on the back of his hand. This is neither having faith nor looking for reasons but shear act of impertinence……... What say????
