Religion is above reason, supernatural.
Faith is not belief, it is the grasp on the Ultimate, an illumination.
First hear, then reason and find out all that reason can give about the Atman; let the flood of reason flow over It, then take what remains. If nothing remains, thank God you have escaped a superstition.
When you have determined that nothing can take away the Atman, that It stands every test, hold fast to this and teach it to all.
