Does 'logus' similarly mean the same thing as 'rationality';or, as 'ego'? Logus is defined as "reason or the rational principle expressed in words and things, argument, or justification; esp personified as the source of order in the universe". But, I can't still make sense of it clearly. Can I get some explanation of this word?

Logos (logos not lotus) is a philosophical principle that describes the existence of a rational order in the universe. It is an ancient Greek concept that says there is a rational reason for all things and that this impacts the order of the universe. There is also biblical reference to logos as the divine (from God) word or reasons embodied by Jesus Christ. Logos is not the same as ego or rationality. It seeks to provide an explanation of the way things work in our universe at large, at least from a philosophical sense.
