Better use deductive reasoning method to make spiritual knowledge comprehensive to educated mature people

In the modern context marked by knowledge explosion and exponential growth of fragmented information, the deductive learning that presents the summary of a topic as generalization or concise concept first followed of the elaboration by the person with content mastery. In other words, it is the Guru-Centred method that starts with generalisation or over-all concept first, which is followed by specific examples and part-wise explanations, activities and experiences with reasoning and critical-creative thinking. 

It has been seen that most spiritualists who have mastered the scriptures just rattle out the content seemingly as a 'recitational talent' which produces a feeling of awe and blind followership. Mature educated people the learn more the the decoding the concise information through deductive logic and critical-creative thinking
