If it is written in the scripture, in history, by professors, scientists, priests, or clergy, they say, "I do not believe." That becomes a kind of illusion, a kind of madness. Because a person who believes in his reason, independently of the crowd and of the authorities, must be ready to understand the reason of another and must be simple enough to give up his reasoning when another person's reasoning appeals to him. Very often reasoning becomes rigid in the case of a simpleton, because he covers the reasoning with his personality. He calls his reason his own reason and the reason of another another person's reason, and there is no relation between another person and himself. He thinks, "Another person's reason is his property, my reason is my property, "And therefore he is not ready to understand.
