Mind and Intellect

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One The Key to Acquiring Knowledge
But the truth is that the key to understanding humans is through mind and intellect. Spirit, as a vast, universal and unique energy and force of existence, manifests through practice, contemplation and precision.

However, the truth is that the key to understanding in a human is through his mind and intellect. The mind, a vast, universal, and unique energy and force of existence manifests through practice and contemplation and precision. It is indeed a subsidiary of the force of spirit derived from its designated source, stationed within the thought brain functioning of humans, manifesting its effect in human lives through their actions. However, since the mind is an infinite force, it needs to be manifested through thoughts so that it can be demonstrated and become actions. Thoughts are like clothing for the mind or a container that holds the potion of the mind. Unless there is a container, the water from the sea cannot be removed; even though the real power is within the water, a container is needed to hold the water. So, thoughts, which operate according to the organizational and mechanical system of the mind, manifest and demonstrate the mind. However, these two are one. Even though its container shapes the water, water cannot separate from itself. What differentiates the two is their manifestation and demonstration; their spirit remains the same. To better analyze mind and thoughts and to recognize each properly, we present two examples:

Whenever a madman thinks the results are not optimal — the man does not have the tools to think appropriately — everyone will then call the man crazy because he cannot use his thoughts correctly if he does not have his right mind.

If the person has the proper mind but does not concentrate or pay proper attention, the mind will not work. This notion, too, will lead to insufficient results.

The result: As we have seen, thoughts alone cannot be successful, and the mind alone cannot do anything. Therefore, these two complete each other, and they need to assist each other and have unity to obtain perfect results. Of course, we should not forget that what connects these two, like every other relationship in the universe, is love.
