Intuition always implies knowing something, hence a second, hence it is rejected as duality. Even if it is the intuition of the infinite, of bliss, God, etc., it is still a pointer to duality. Therefore the way to ultimate truth or Brahman, i.e. Non-duality is not intuition, not mysticism but reason

Logic is misunderstood. People cannot distinguish between reasoning and intellect as Gnani does. Egocentric reason applied only to practical life within the practical world is called logic, and intellect.

Soulcentric reason is the Spiritualistic reason that is necessary to unfold the truth of the whole.

A Gnani knows both egocentric reason (logic) and Soulcentric reason. He uses egocentric reason (logic) in practical life within the practical world and uses Soulcentric reason to know the truth beyond, time and space. Logic is very much necessary for the practical purpose. But logic cannot be applied to discover the truth because logic implies duality and the ultimate truth is based on a Nondualistic perspective.

To say rise above logic is generally confused with saying "Rise above Reason." It is wrong to give up reason. Life does not consist only of a waking state. We must take all three states into account.

If one sticks to the old formal logic, he cannot get at the truth. People seeing this insufficiency of logic, therefore wrongly say "Give up logic and go to intuition." Their error is “What is it that told them that logic was not enough?” It was Reason itself; not intuition. Thus, there is confusion between logic and reason.

The reasoning is interpretable in two ways. The egocentric interpretation is to apply it only to waking experience. The Soulcentric interpretation is to apply it to the three states. The latter leads to the final settlement of the problems because it takes all data into consideration.

Logic, in short, is concerned with correct or valid thinking. Its main concern is non-contradiction, it can lay down the criterion of Truth as non-contradiction, but only with the assumed premises and not with facts. But when facts enter into consideration we have

Reason but the same criterion of Truth remains, only the propositions with which we start must square with facts of experience, with observed data. Hence reason includes logic or correct thinking as well as strict fidelity to experience or facts. Bad logic or insufficiency of facts or wrong data may lead to untruth.

The scientist with a plethora of data may reason illogically and reach false conclusions. Reason avoids both those mistakes. While reason searches for truth, logic insists on valid or correct thinking only.

Intellect is the power or faculty of thinking logically. The reason is the power or faculty of thinking truly or towards truth. By reason, we go a step beyond experience by making explicit in it.

The reason is defined as that which makes explicit what is implicit in an experience. This will I believe cover the reason of science as well as of Vedanta between which you have in some articles of yours, made a distinction. When I read that definition of yours, I felt you have descended to mysticism. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
