In spiritual practice, logic is inevitably an integral part, and growth occurs based on a certain level of understanding. However, understanding is just understanding, and understanding itself is not the truth. While there is a starting point in understanding, there is a need to go beyond that understanding.

This "going beyond" does not mean negating understanding, because the true truth lies beyond understanding. Therefore, it is necessary to actually go beyond the stage of understanding and directly know the truth. When one reaches the truth, what was previously understood appears as a different surface, allowing for different interpretations. However, the understanding that existed before reaching the truth is not necessarily wrong; it represents a certain aspect of it. By knowing the truth more directly, by directly reaching the truth, different interpretations become possible. Although it is called "interpretation," directly reaching the truth itself transcends words, so it is difficult to express it in words. However, even if the truth itself is difficult, it becomes possible to interpret the surface of the truth described in the scriptures in the world.

For example, a common misunderstanding is the translation of "Yoga is the cessation of the fluctuations of the mind" in the beginning of the Yoga Sutras. In the original Sanskrit, it simply says "Yoga is the calming of the fluctuations (vritti) of the mind (chitta)," but people in Indian intellectual traditions and those influenced by them in Japan often say, "It is impossible to stop the mind. It is impossible to cease the mind. Atman is Sat-Chit-Ananda, so consciousness is infinite and filled, and it has existed eternally in the past, present, and future, so it cannot disappear." However, in reality, the Yoga Sutras are talking about chitta (the memory of the mind), not Atman's Sat-Chit-Ananda, but for some reason, chitta is linked to Atman and criticized. In reality, the Yoga Sutras simply say, "Let's eliminate the fluctuations (so-called distractions) of the memory (chitta), that is Yoga." This is the same thing that is said in the Vedanta school as Antahkarana-Shuddhi (purification of the inner self), but for some reason, they criticize each other by bringing up superficial differences. By stopping distractions, the Atman (Purusha = pure spirit in Yoga) that lies beneath emerges. However, both the Yoga and Vedanta schools seem to be saying the same thing, but for some reason, they criticize each other based on superficial differences. Not everyone, but there are surprisingly many such people, especially in India. In Japan, it is not so noticeable, but there are people who do not recognize each other's schools and have a bad relationship.

When the person actually reaches the truth, superficial differences become irrelevant, and it becomes clear that they are saying the same thing.
