WHOLE POINT OF LIFE

Kant proclaimed that we cannot penetrate beyond the tremendous dead wall of reason.  That we can go beyond reason, however, is the first teaching of Vedanta philosophy. 

Vedanta seeks, and has successfully found, that which is higher than reason, that which takes us beyond the limitations of reason. 

What proof is there that a higher state than reason exists?  If we accept, for just a moment, that there is no higher state, what possibly could explain the world?  What purpose could the world possibly have otherwise?

If we believe that there is nothing higher than reason, then we have missed the whole point of life.
