[Guest guest]

This world, this universe which our senses feel, or our mind thinks,

is but one atom, so to say, of the Infinite, projected on to the

plane of consciousness; and within that narrow limit, defined by the

network of consciousness, works our reason, and not beyond.

Therefore, there must be some other instrument to take us beyond, and

that instrument is called inspiration. So instinct, reason and

inspiration are the three instruments of knowledge.
