Mind
___________________
That which in the individual feels, thinks, perceives, wills and reasons.
‘Abdu'l-Bahá has said that the ‘human spirit which distinguishes man from the animal is the rational soul; and these two names — the human spirit and the rational soul — designate one thing . . . the mind is the power of the human spirit. Spirit is the lamp; mind is the light which shines from the lamp. Spirit is the tree, and mind is the fruit. Mind is the perfection of the spirit, and its essential quality, as the sun's rays are the essential necessity of the sun.'30
[BD 156]
