Permeate, inspire the mind (5)

I believe the answer is:

imbue

(Other definitions for imbue that I've seen before include "Spread or diffuse through; inspire" , "Fill (with a particular feeling)" , "Fill, with colour or feeling" , "Fill with, infuse" , "Instil - soak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
