Keep Your Gaze Upward and Move Forward

The world as we know it today came after centuries of human life, aspiration, growth, and development. We owe this progress to the blossoming of our intellect—the relentless thinker within us, constantly pushing the boundaries of knowledge and achievement.

The Intellect is the fifth yogi principle. It is the conscious part of the mind, the part I am using to write this text right now. It allows me to reason, think, and analyze. This part plays a central role in my ability to form a conception of the self, of the "I," and helps me make sense of the world around me.

Before this conscious part of our mind unfolded, we had emotions but no reason; desires but no rationalized will. Then, from achievement to achievement, the intellect begins to receive more light from the next higher principle, the spiritual mind.
