' Mind '...

Before any thought, idea, opinion could come in, there must have been the mind.

Before you could know that God created world, mind must have been there to tell you so.

Before you can attribute to anything its primordial nature in the world--whether it be Force,

Matter, God or Electricity--the mind is prior in telling you of a primordial principle.

Therefore Mind is the only reality we know.

All else we imagine, believe or wish.
