Albert Einstein wrote ................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.

And as Abraham Lincoln said.
"Don't trust everything you read on the internet"

I can see pages attributing that quote to einstein and pages saying it wasn't him.
What I can't find is any context or explanation of where the quote came from.

I doubt he said it.

I've read it attributed to Einstein by a reputable psychologist so I accept he said it. But like all his other references to God and the irrational he isn't urging us to lay down in the muck of the unknowable. He never recommends abandoning oneself to god-knows-what. I think he really is encouraging us to embrace our conscious roles of tying up the loose ends and building legs under the productions of the intuitive mind. You serve the intuitive mind not by accepting the authoritative dogma of a teacher but by remaining open to allowing its expression in you while serving it in a support role. No teacher required.
