Does the satisfaction of logic reinforce the mind, and is there a danger in this?

outcome
"Logic is a bridge to the trans-logical; use it wisely, but do not cling to it, for the true nectar of life lies beyond the confines of the mind."
According to Osho, logic is only a bridge—a spoon holding the medicine of the trans-logical. Use it to understand, but don't cling to it. When the mind is satisfied by logic alone, it gets reinforced, and you miss the living nectar beyond words. Let logic serve, then drop it for direct experience.
Logic is a spoon for the medicine—use it, but don't swallow the spoon, or your busy mind gets bigger and you miss the real taste.
Why this matters practically
- Use reasoning to approach teachings, then shift into silence and felt experience.
- Catch overthinking early; notice when the mind seeks comfort in concepts.
- Practice listening to life (breath, birds, presence) beyond explanations.
