Most such quotes on the internet are fake. I'm fascinated by how catchy lines get attributed to famous people, so this is a bit of a hobby.

Secondly, he did speak of the sacred very frequently in fact

The article you link to doesn't include the word "sacred". I think the word is significant. It doesn't quite seem like a word Einstein would use. Especially in the context of a "sacred gift", which implies a gift-giver. Einstein's deism was resolutely impersonal.

As you doubtless are aware, Einstein's religious views or lack thereof are the subject of perennial quarreling among camps eager to claim his name for their own. It's all rather tedious. But it's at least a credit to Einstein's open-mindedness and tolerance that he wasn't a finger-wagging scientistic scold of the likes of Dawkins.

Regardless, it's a good quote either way, don't you think?

Not quite, no. Certainly my sympathies are all with this line of thinking, so I ought to like it, but it feels like it hits the nail askew. I mean, if the intuitive mind is a sacred gift, why isn't the rational mind also? Presumably there can be more than one gift. Also, the implied symmetry between "intuitive mind" and "rational mind" seems slightly facile. I'm a big relier on intuition but I'm not sure I'd call it a mind. But I'm just rambling out loud here. Thanks for an interesting discussion.

Edit: do you know Eugene Gendlin's work on intuition? One of these days I want to read him in greater depth. But I'm familiar with his book Focusing which was an original contribution to psychotherapy. He speaks of intuition (actually, he uses the phrase felt sense) as a kind of bodily knowing distinct from cognitive knowing.
