To have a developed intellect is always helpful if one can enlighten it from above and turn it to a divine use.
Sri Aurobindo

What is required is faith. Man has body, life and mind but that is not all that constitutes man. He has risen to the mind as a result of evolution. Now a higher consciousness will be evolved - this I call Supermind. It is the instrument of the Divine Consciousness, the Truth-Consciousness.

Those who have advanced rise to the mind which is in the head, - they have the play of their mental movements in the head itself. But all these are inside the body man is, as it were, shut up in a box, his entire consciousness is confined within the organism. This imprisonment has to be undone.

The supreme end is the freedom of the spirit.
Sri Aurobindo
Image
All religions have some truth in them, but none has the whole truth all are created in time and finally decline and perish. Mahomed himself never pretended that the Koran was the last message of God and there would be no other. God and Truth outlast these religions and manifest themselves anew in whatever way or form the Divine Wisdom chooses.

Knowledge gropes but meets not Wisdom's face.
