If you read Sri Aurobindo in either his book "The Life Divine" or the "Synthesis of Yoga" he explains the answer there. Basically, the thought is that man is imbued with intuition of things greater than himself (GOD, Shakti or the Mother). He intuits sometimes in the form of flashes of brilliance, clairvoyance, prescience or outright iinsight. It can take many and all forms such as the flash of intelligence that occurred with the mathematical realization of e=mc2 or understanding the elegant universe in its entirety. Anyway, as the quote suggests, in order to truly tap into the Intuitive mind, we must subordinate or lower mind or intelligent egoic mind. This is because it overtakes the intuitive mind to easily. Since we don't cultivate the intuitive side of our being, when we get insights from this part of the mind (or brain), we immediately rush to apply or interpret the intution and that process itself clouds futher illumination, mainly because this part of the mind is intuitive and not rational. For example, we may get the flash of brilliance regarding how to create electicity and then spend a hundred years applying it to use, but never really discovering where the flash came from and what the flash of insight was really trying to tell us. In the case of electricty, maybe that the entire universe is made up of negative and positive forces that can be understood and ultimately incorporated into our thought, mind and life. So the quote suggests that we have turned on the light, but remained in the dark. We have followed the servant and forgotten the gift.. Hope that helps.
What else can I help you with?
Did Einstein say The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant you have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift?
Your quote is close but not exactly what Einstein said. The actual quote is "The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
