Exploring reason (which is starting to sound like raison, which is close to French for reason, which is making me kind of hungry, even though I just ate. Not very reasonable.)
What does reason get us?
Being "reasonable."
"If we can only reason with them."
"There must be a reason."
"Everything happens for a reason."
In our vernacular, it seems like we put a lot of energy into trying to make sense out of things. And justify choices with Reason. And for good reason? Maybe, depending on the circumstances.
But what if reason doesn't seem to be working? Or what if reason is no longer enough/satisfying? What if you glimpse something that defies reason, and yet you Know it is true?

At some point, as we move into realms that transcend the dimension of duality, we need to surrender our need to know why and the need to make sense out of things. This also pulls out our need to make cents out of things. We need to surrender our need to "reason" as our first response. As we surrender our need to reason, we begin to trust our intuitive faculties more, and the connection to the divine becomes more "reasonable."
