Notes
- The intellect is of two kinds: The first is acquired. You learn it like a boy at school,
- From books, teachers, reflection and rote, from concepts and from excellent and new sciences.
- Your intellect becomes greater than that of others, but you are heavily burdened because of your acquisition. :The other intellect is a gift of God. Its fountainhead lies in the midst of the spirit.[1]
- When the water of knowledge bubbles up from the breast, it will never become stagnant, old, or discolored.
- If the way to its outside source should become blocked, there is no reason to worry since the water keeps on :bubbling up from within the house.
- The acquired intellect is like a stream led into a house from outside.
- If its way should be blocked, it is helpless. Seek the fountain from within yourself! (M IV 1960-63, :65-68)
- Be well aware of the discrepancies among intellects, which extend in degrees from earth to heaven!
- There is an intellect like the disc of the sun, and another less than Venus or a shooting star.
- There is an intellect happily flickering like a lamp, and another like a spark of fire. . . .
- Partial intellect has disgraced the Intellect; desire for the world has deprived man of the Object of his :desire. (M V 459-461 and 463)[2]
