Rational Knowledge is the practical application of reason to analyse a set of data and in the fold of the physical world where the data is relatively simple It has evolved successful procedures like deduction. Induction and scientific method to extract the knowledge contained in the data. This knowledge is displayed in the form of universal laws which establish an order in the states of the entities of the world. Rational knowledge arranges in an ordered sequence a set of data for a given entity regardless of the actual and unforeseen circumstances that occur in its course, compares it with the order Indicated by a local law that becomes displayed naturally, then either rearranges its order to accord with the order indicated by the law or modifies the law to accord with the data obtained by it. Then it combines several sequences of order into a larger sequence to obtain a greater degree of order and to arrive finally at the universal law for the whole class of data by a step by step procedure. Reason indicates that where there is causality, a sequence of temporal order, there is a law that causality and law are correlated and one has only to discover the correlation even if by trial and error.

Rational knowledge has hundred resources and it combines them to break one by one the barriers that it encounters to stand face to face with the actual world that has evoked it. It has shown itself to be irresistible in all fields of physical sciences as well as in abstract mathematical fields. It is single-minded and scrupulous, knows its limitations, does not step out of its marked course of verification by experiments yet is ever open to new devices to reach its objective of knowledge. It does not stand in the way of other procedures like intuition, offers and accepts contributions willingly, yet maintains its straight forward course. It has faith that the stability and equilibrium evident in the world are comprehensible and that it will arrive. It rejoices in freedom, ever desires to cross the limits that constrain its given field, mystery fascinates it and harmony and beauty herald the approach of truth that it seeks. Now hand in hand with logic it is commencing to aspire to cross its frontiers of the finite world, to enter the infinite world of metaphysics.
