We have no clear means to know what we can do to understand the Will of God. It is possible to get the right solution by a careful examination of ourselves . We will notice that anything that we do has to be previously thought about. Thinking is the function of the mind. In the mind arise ideas.
Ideas express either something relating to knowledge, or to feeling, or to willpower.
Every one of us is guided by one s feeling. The feeling might be good or bad. The man who wants to avoid the bad and allow only good ideas to arise in his mind exercises that part of his mind which is called intellect. He decides by right thinking that bad feeling should not be allowed to predominate and that only good feelings ought to be allowed to rule over oneself. Even after this, man finds it necessary to exercise his will, which is another aspect of his mind, to act according to the decision arrived at by the intellectual aspect of his mind.
