The limited scope of logics and languages

Friends, it is very important to realize that our logics, languages,
symbols etc have limitations to express or explain certain concepts.
Here's an example
Suppose a person is blind right from his birth. And we try to explain
him that "there exists eyes which can see things". In such a case he
will never be able to grasp this "eye" concepts entirely unless he
somehow get his own eyes.
We can only give him some hints like there is light, colours etc. And
if that blind person is not willing to understand hints, he will never
be able to realize that there is a sense known as eyes. Of course,
he is missing a very important concept. (Read more examples)
Hints can be in form of logics, symbols, language. But we can atmost
only give him a glimpse of "eye concept". Moreover in the place of
eye there can be other senses or things other than senses.
So our thinking capability is very limited. It may depend on many
factors like present mental level, already felt feelings, environment
circumstances etc. And when someone feels a new feeling, his mental
level increases from the previous level.
Feeling is very different from thinking. we can't think without using
languages to talk with ourselves. Give it a try now !!!
However feeling and thinking are related to each other. Thinking, if
used properly can widespread the realms of a person. And if a person
feels a new feeling, it can increase the level of his thinking. But willingness
is required to learn something new.
This is the main reason to say that God can't be realized using
logics alone : willingness is must.
Friends express your feelings about thinking in comments :)
