Reason ,the Sap of Vedanta

" The faculty of reason is a human prerogative.It arises from the ability to think.Reason makes a human the chef d'oeuvre of creation .But few care to develop the art of thinking ,reasoning .People do not seem to realise that thinking is skilled work .That you need to learn and practice it .On the contrary you believe that it is a natural process like breathing or eating .That you can think clearly and accurately without putting in the necessary effort on your part .It is not so .If you are to develop the faculty of thinking ,reasoning you need to devote as much time and effort to it as you would to learning any other skill."
