Why our love shifts to that Power that bestowed you with a million blessingit becomes Divine! The intellect discriminates betwepairsof opposites. A dull,undevelopintellect leads to confusion, loss and sorrow. A sharp, clear intellect guarantees prosperity and success. Aintellectfocussed on world welfare happiness. When the intellect distinguishes between the eternal and ephemeral you get arichored in the permanent and reach enlightenment he intellect is most important; itneeds to be developed and strengthen with independent, original thinking. Thus the mortal, gross body, mind and intellect can transport you to the immortal, subtle Spirit.
