Science of Zen Koans

Nithyananda talks about how people spend lots of energy trying to understand mind through logic. Logical thinking is part of the mind and its impossible to comprehend mind through logic. This implies that logic cannot in anyway be able to comprehend "consciousness" which is beyond mind. Zen tradition has something called "Zen Koans" that are given to the Zen monks to contemplate. These seemingly illogical statements when meditated upon, creates a space to experience consciousness. This is the science behind the Zen Koans.
