' It's Highest Function '...

When intellect comes to understand that its own existence implies a superior existence which is its origin,

it has served its highest function.

When it accepts the fact of intuition and serves it by laying itself down in stilled prostration,

there is born Intelligence.

Then alone does truth appear and peace bless us.
