(173) Mahaabuddhih-In the previous term, we were told He is

Omnipotent. Here He is indicated as Omniscient. The Supreme,

functioning through the intellect, is the intelligence. The quality

and quantity of the intelligence will depend upon the condition of

the " intellect' through which the Infinite comes to play. The

intelligence in a mathematician, poet or an artist, scientist or

politician-all are the different play-patterns of energies invoked

from the one Supreme Intelligence, and therefore, Mahavishnu, the

Self, is called here as Mahaabuddhih, the Reservoir of all

Intelligence.
