I have Sensei's Divining Top into play, and more more mana of any color, i have just play 4 other spell, then I play Mind's Desire.

Can i before the copy of Mind's Desire resolve, look the top 3 card and reveal the best of them?

The problem is that shuffling is part of the resolution of each copy of Mind's Desire, so you can't do other activated abilities in between "parts" of the same spell. The entire spell (including the shuffling part) happens all at once for each copy.

Mind's Desire is a little weird, because the first thing you have to do is shuffle the library. It was probably worded this way exactly to prevent such things from happening.

So yes, you can use the Top before the first copy of Mind's Desire starts resolving, but no, it won't do you much good.

It would work better if you have a replacement effect ready for shuffling the library, not sure if there is such a card.
