Mind is not a faculty of knowledge nor an instrument of omniscience; it is a faculty for the seeking of knowledge, for expressing as much as it can gain of it in certain forms of a relative thought and for using it towards certain capacities of action. Even when it finds, it does not possess; it only keeps a certain fund of current coin of Truth-not Truth itself- in the bank of Memory to draw upon according to its needs.
Mind is that which does not know, which tries to know and which never knows except as a glass darkly. It is the power which interprets truth of universal existence for the practical uses of a certain order of things ; it is not the power which knows and guides that existence and therefore it can not be the power which created or manifested it.
