Logic Only can bring unity among religions

Today the development of science is terrible, which is the faculty of logic and analysis. Today the heart is reduced and the brain is expanded. The old generations were having a broad heart and less brain. The heart can be inspired by appeals but the brain will not be satisfied by appeals. If you appeal “All the human beings are one and the same internally and externally. God is one only. Do not quarrel with each other and be united as one family”, the effect of such appeal is temporary only. When the devotee returns back, the emotion is subsided by next day itself.

The reason is that his or her intellectual facility (Buddhi) is not satisfied. You have not given the logical analysis of such concepts. You have worked at the level of mind only and not at the level of intelligence. Mind is the steering rod and the intelligence is the driver. Mind is in the hands of intelligence. Due to this reason only, the Lord started Gita with the concept of knowledge and analysis (Buddhi Yoga). The driving knowledge of the driver is more important than the driver. The correct driving depends on the correct driving knowledge imparted on him by the teacher of the driving school, who is the Satguru.

In the case of Arjuna, the teacher of the driving school himself became the driver! You cannot imagine the fortune of Arjuna. When God Himself became the driver, He is called as Satguru. The word Sat is used to mean God. Guru means guide.

Logic unite? Ive addressed this before, you cannot be unified behind logic because logic necessitates that all people have the same knowledge and experience base in order to reach the same conclusion. No two people have the same experience. No two people know exactly the same thing.

There are so many aspects of life that logic and reason do not address. Which is why experience is necessary. And why Divine revelation is necessary. Because there is more to learn. People are afraid to tread off of logic and explore because they may be wrong. But if you dont take a chance then youll never learn and if you never learn then whats the point?

Perfectly logical people can't even agree on the fundamental principles of the universe. Get real, man!

Welcome back JB.

Thank you. It's good to be back. I got banned from Hannity in less than one night and the mods at one of the atheist forums are ready to ban me because I made one of them look like an idiot when his first response to my pro-life arguments were to denounce me as a 'fundy' and launch a series of attacks against Christendom that made me laugh hardcore Why do people have so much difficulty defending abortion when their opponent isn't religious?

Anyway, back to the OP. The problem is that there can be more than one logical conclusion in some cases, and evidence is still subject to interpretation. Just look at the competing theories to explain gravity.
