We step beyond the bounds (Elder Sophrony of Essex)

In our logical thought there’s an insurmountable imperfection: the arguments we employ and the principles on the basis of which we reach conclusions never prove to be sufficient in practice. In the insignificant routine of our existence even such logic, with its inadequate conclusions can be quite useful in some ways. But in the search for eternal truth we step beyond the bounds of all that which we can see and rationally discern. And we need to remember that.
