---

The intellect, which so usefully serves the purpose of analysis or exposition, discussion or explanation, is useless for the purposes of acquaintance with, or comprehension of, the essence of things, creatures, life, or mind. It is not capable of "touching the Untouchable," to use an expression borrowed from the most ancient and, at one time, the most secret Asiatic philosophy.
