Religion does not depend on our intellectual assent or dissent. You say there is a soul. Have you seen the soul?
How is it we all have souls and do not see them?
You have to answer the question and find out the way to see the soul. … …
If you and I fight for all eternity about one of these doctrines or documents, we shall never come to any conclusion.
People have been fighting for ages, and what is the outcome?
Intellect cannot reach there at all. We have to go beyond the intellect; the proof of religion is in direct perception.
