The reason in man is his direct affinity with the Logos, the Infinite, or the rational principle that governs and develops his universe - it is not his intellect or the manifestation of his ego. Truly rational man, has all the truth about himself, about the world and about God.
There are still in force two aspects to this question that do not
allow the man to see the plenitude of Truth. Many live exclusively for the
material life of the senses and intellect as if they lived on bread alone. A
smaller part runs away from life and tries to live exclusively for what they
call the life of the spirit. These two behaviours seduce man, and all
seduction, whether to the left or right, is disastrous and leads man into
misfortune. Materialists try to transform man into a soulless body while
spiritualists try to reduce man to a bodiless soul. However, man is neither a
corpse nor a ghost, he is a synthesis of body and soul. To find this synthesis
and to live it practically, is the secret of happiness, and it was for this
purpose that many spiritual masters descended from the heavenly abodes of the
Cosmos to spread their messages of wisdom.
A descend for those masters were never a journey without troubles. To
manifest at this low level of spiritual vibration where the vast majority of
humans still live, required unparalleled sacrifices, including compulsory
death.
When a man begins to live this great synthesis; the challenge of
bonding experience between body and soul - which is the third aspect of his
existence - when the spirit illuminates, permeates and vivifies all the
material things of life, the man begins to live the plenitude of his existence
and comprehends what one of these masters meant by the words: "I came that
men might have life, and have it with the greatest abundance."
