As for the intellect it is indispensable to man up to a certain point; after that it becomes an inferior instrument and often misleading and obstructive.
At the Feet of The Mother
Dilip Kumar Roy
I did not admit that Rama was a blind Avatar, but offered you two alternatives of which the latter represents my real view founded on the impression made on me by the Ramayana...
The faith in spiritual things that is asked of the sadhak is not an ignorant but a luminous faith, a faith in light and not in darkness.
An Avatar is not at all bound to be a spiritual prophet — he is never in fact merely a prophet, he is a realiser, an establisher.
All morality is a convention — man cannot live without conventions, mental and moral, otherwise he feels himself lost in the rolling sea of the anarchic forces of the vital Nature.
“O high seeker of immortality,/ Is there not, ineffable, a bliss / Too vast for these finite harmonies, / Too divine for the moment’s unsure kiss?
It seems to me that you identify faith very much with the mental belief — but real faith is something spiritual, a knowledge of the soul.
Nobody has ever said that the spiritual change was an easy thing; all spiritual seekers will say that it is difficult but supremely worth doing.
It is the fact that people who are grateful and cheerful and ready to go step by step,... do actually march faster and more surely than those who are impatient and in haste and at each step despair.
