Well, I'm no "pure" devotee, but there's the other expression: "It takes one to know one" which might give you an answer...

When one tries to understand what is written in the scriptures with the necessary modern "Cartesian logic and reason", one very often stumbles over paradoxes and  contradictions and can not grasp what is so apparent. For example, the mind can not really understand what  is 'love'. It has already been explained in terms of chemistry, but is that it? Are we merely a giant sum of pure biochemical processes?  Or is there something more? This is the question we need to ask ourselves.

Anyway, I've learned that one needs to put both the ego and the mind aside to discover the love of Godhead. And this humbling journey on our way to Godhead is a marathon and not a sprint...

Your servant,
Damodara Svarupa dasa
