Faith above reason allows one to see reality as the Creator sees it.

Ordinarily, we perceive the world through our egoistic knowledge, through the lens of self-interest. The Creator deliberately created us within egoism in which we feel ourselves and the world as separate and limited.

But through faith above reason, we elevate ourselves to the degree of bestowal, to the level of Bina, and enter into the Creator’s vision, into His world, into His perception of reality.

Therefore, faith above reason is not self-deception or imagination. On the contrary, it transfers us into the true world, the world of truth. Then we see ourselves within the reality of the Creator and behold all things through His eyes.

Faith above reason is the highest degree—the attribute of Bina, of bestowal, the quality of the Creator Himself. When we enter this quality, relative to us it is called faith above reason, for reason represents the view of our egoism, while faith represents the degree of Bina, bestowal, the level of the Creator.

Thus, when we strive for faith, we do not become dreamers or idealists. On the contrary, by doing so, we attain the world of truth, a reality untainted by our egoism.
