Question: What is faith above reason?

Answer: Faith above reason is faith in spite of reason, in spite of today’s degree. If I move from degree to degree, then at the degree where I am now, I have reason. In order to rise to the next degree, I accept the reason of the next degree as faith, i.e., I go with the head of the upper degree.

This is not at all like in our world in which if you are smarter than me, then I go with your head, and I act with your reason. This is called “faith is above my reason.” That is, I go with my reason anyway but using your reason.

In spirituality, however, if a person goes by faith above reason, he understands and feels that this is against him. But he goes because he wants to go with the head of his teacher.
