Reasons for Differences in Intellects

The Flowers Of Guidance Volume One The New Light or The Superior Light of Lights

We have discussed the reasons for the differences in the intellects of human beings in the book “Mechanism of Creation.” In there, we argued that the difference in the intellect, taste, vigor, propensity and drive of human beings towards occupations and responsibilities and different tasks, that create order in society and orderly flow of affairs in society, are all dependent on the different mental capacities of human beings. What we mean by the capacity is cells and mental containers that act as the center and station for a specific sense and responsibility. In that book, we mentioned that if any of these containers have a higher capacity, their relative traits will become stronger. On the other hand, if they have a lesser capacity, that trait will be deficient. In other words, the excess or deficiency of talents in human beings is relative to the mental capacity in the designated area of one’s mind.

We also mentioned that each person is capable of exercising and advancing his mental force. Of course, he can only do as much as his mind is capable and according to his fate and destiny. In this instance, mental cells are like a dirty and stained container. By cleaning the germs, that person can utilize its full capacity and force.
