Logic is very important for the implementation of spiritual principles in our day-to-day life to make sure that our application is not simply baseless rituals. Which ever way we profess our religion there should be a sound reason for the practice.In fact that is what Guru Ji did.All the baseless rituals were taken out after defining the spiritual foundations for the religion and taught it to the people and lived the life according to those.The religious service was reduced to sitting in sangat and doing kirtan, Naam Japna and giving a disourse on spiritual principles. Priestly class was eliminated as every human as a child of God can pray direct to God who resides in the body also. Unfortunately we have recreated the position of the priest in our Gurdwaras and have started depending upon them for our prayer, doing paath for us like akhand path or sehaj path as if they are more close to God, in fact we have given up complete control of our Gurdwaras to them and they manage it instead of the elected committees. We have also started observing sangrand,massia, chaleesa (going to gurdwara for forty days for a special wish, hoping it will be granted by doing this), serving bhojan to the granthees like saradh to a brahmin, kathakaars to tell us tales instead of briefing us on principles of Gurmat, offering money and other things to granthis as if that will please God. Our Granthees have become just like brahmins who were eliminated by Guru Nanak. Insteaof us doing kirtan,we have given it up to the ragee jathas who dont even know any raag and we still call them ragees and think they are holy people because they sing gurbani. The whole system has totally degenerated into what was there before Guru Nanak.
But no logic is needed for our spiritual development and progressing to our ultimate goal of our realising God.On that path we have to give up our intellect gained thru our knowledge of the physical world as now we are dealing with spiritual arena.It is a game of love where we have to give everything to seek our love.We have to give up all our cleverness and worldly knowledge and accept the instructions of the Guru without question.
"Sabhe shad sianpaa Gur ki pairee paaeh."
It is not easy to do it but there is no other way in that realm about which we know nothing.To get the Gurmat we have to enter that realm by emembering Har,the God by Naam japna and keep Him in mind all the time.
When we enter the stage of dhyan or sunn by naam japna,our gyan is left out and we are in the hands of Sabad/Naam Guru who will guide us from there on so long we are in sunn. As we come out of sunn we are back in the world of Kaal/Maya and our regular intellect takes over but our mind has been cleansed a little by Naam."Oh dhope naave ke rang" Regular cleansing of our mind this way get us closer to our Source, the God till one day our mind has become pure and is then ready for His grace, "Gurparsad ". When that happens we have made it to our natural home Nij Ghar and have Naam in our mind instead of 'koor di pall'. The mind thus gets enlightened with the light of countless suns and the doubts and darkness vanishes.
"Naam japat kot soor ujiaara binse bharam andhaera"
It is state of Anand which gives you the bliss after seeing the light of countless suns which is God Himself. This what makes one a 'Jivanmukt", Sant,Sadh, Bhagat or Brahmgiani. Gur Ji calls these persons Gurmukh.
These Gurmukhs then know the way to God and they can help the novice on the path. Guru Ji repeatedly ask a Sikh to look for such a person and 'seek the dust of his feet' which really means his help on the path. As it is hard for us to make out who a real sant is,the fake sadhs/sants come and fool us So one hint here :the True Sants dont go globe trotting asking for or collecting money.They will never call themselves Sants, they will talk only about God and will help you connect with Him and not to themselves.They may not be wearing a garb of a sant, they work for their living and are not dependent on the society. They serve God by serving His people and His creation. They understand each line of Gurbani as they have seen Him and travelled the path leading to Him as dicussed by Guru Ji in Gurbani.The spiritual knowledge is erceived by the traveller on the path as it is imparted by God /Naam: "Gian anjan Gur deea agiaan andher binaas". One need no logic on this path of Love and should be willing to die for our Love.Be a humble servant to all and then tread on this path.
