I hate to be crass, but I think this song is about sex with the "minor place" being a poetic euphemism for the female genitals (not unlike "nothing" being an Elizabethan slang term for the vagina. ie "Much Ado About Nothing").
I think it is about being a man driven intensely by the desire for sex, being intellectually aware of this drive, being somewhat ashamed of its power over him, but ultimately giving into and celebrating it.
"singing from my little point
and aching in my every joint
I thank the world it will anoint me
if I show it how I hold it"
Just a thought, but I think it is true. A very intelligent friend suggested this to me years ago and I haven't been able to shake it when listening to this beautiful song.
