When you think upon a problem, there is no sense-enjoyment there, but [the] exquisite delight of thought. . . .
It is that that makes the man. . . .
Take one great idea! It deepens. Concentration comes. You no longer feel your body. Your senses have stopped. You are above all physical senses.
All that was manifesting itself through the senses is concentrated upon that one idea. That moment you are higher than the animal. You get the revelation none can take from you -- a direct perception of something higher than the body. . . .
Therein is the gold of mind, not upon the plane of the senses.
