Mind is useful. By discriminating between different things, it can create paths of action. Mind can bring something subtle and fuzzy to the forefront of awareness. It can clarify what seems to be unclear. Mind is specific, so it can be very practical. It can play with concepts and ease communication.

Mind is limiting. The mind cannot grasp truth in paradox. It cannot grasp the completeness, the oneness, and the simple-complexity of reality. Mind will attempt to understand what cannot be understood, only experienced. It will attempt to define the undefinable.

Allow mind to do its work. Allow it to play and wander. Just realize that it cannot know.

Yes. I think I agree. But what is it that does know? Is it judgement, conscience, heart? Personally I love paradox - perhaps because it shows us that mind isn't enough..
