~ Intellect~
Let us a take a look at the transformation of a simple metal plate into a knife. The metal plate when processed through various stages gets shaped into a sharp instrument used primarily for cutting etc. Have you noticed, the process doesn't get completed in just sharpening the blade.

When the mind is happy
It is in tune with the One
Ever present God, called Consciousness

But there are moments
When incidences and visions
Attract the mind so

Of the momentary apparitions
And rests always in the confidence
Of the enveloping Consciousness
Strength and boldness
That is not of this world.
