Mind can be known by Mind & Divinity can be known by Divinity
Original Power, where as the Feeling faculty is more closely related with Divinity. It is also a very well known truth that Feeling is the language of God. So the Feeling faculty which is a reflection of Divinity alone can help us know Divinity.
Mind or intellectuality is a woefully inadequate instrument. For example let me take you through some common phenomenon which we face everyday. For example if you look at a Red cricket ball, rays of light are falling on the object and after reflection pass through the cornea and lens of the eyeball and falls on the retina where it forms an inverted image and from where nerve impulses travel and reach the visual cortex. Some changes in the flux of some sodium, potassium and calcium ions in that jelly like substance in a particular area of the brain cause you to feel the presence of round object which is Red in color. So is the red ball present in the phenomenological space in your head or present out there in the space in front of you. Various scientists argue that it is present in the head and some vehemently argue that is it is present out in front of you in the space. But how some flux of ions is causing the uniquely subjective feeling of the red cricket ball in our phenomenological space is a big mystery and modern scientists are terribly frustrated in trying to explain how this phenomenon occurs.
Suppose the red ball is thrown up and you were to catch the ball, which all of us do it as a matter of fact, some astounding and astronomical scale of computational work has to go in the brain and several messages from eye, hand muscles, joint sense, positional sense organs have to be coordinated and integrated to bring about an unity of experience of catching the ball. The more you probe into the phenomenon intellectually and try to trace the sequence of nerve currents unleashed to bring about the act and the fast and dynamic changes in the trajectory
