Mysticism–Going Beyond Logic

“That dimension of truth, which cannot be boxed into your logical mind, is being labeled 'mystical.' When you say, 'we want to explore mysticism,' you are saying that you are willing to go beyond your present levels of understanding and experience and look for the truth.”

—Sadhguru

Right now the logical dimension of thought is filtering life through the intellect. The logical process has become so dominant simply because right now perception is limited to the five senses. The very nature of sense perception is such that it always perceives everything in bits and pieces. It always divides everything into at least two. It never perceives anything as one. If you can see one side of your hand you cannot see the other side. This is so even if you take a grain of sand. If you perceive one part of it, you do not perceive another.

The moment you perceive everything through the five sense organs, the world gets divided. Only when there is a division, there is logic. If there is only one, there is no logic. The foundation of the logical mind is in dividing the world. If you do not divide existence, you cannot employ your logic. Sense perception and logical thinking are directly connected. They are complementary to each other.
