Man is nature's instrument. He possesses immense power and has the implement required for the utilisation of that power. That wonderful implement is the mind, and it is exclusively the possession of man. Even God, who is thought to be the object of worship, does not have mind. Animals are however said to possess mind, but it is of a different nature. It is, so to say, in an inert state in comparison to man's mind, which is full of life and activity. The mind owes its origin to the first Stir, which came into effect by the will of God to bring the creation into existence.
