A Gentle Discernment
Accumulated knowledge is no indication of Wisdom.
Gaining knowledge requires
Only perseverance and memory.
Facts stacked on facts,
Assumed to be true,
Does not wisdom make.
However, it’s true that
Without Knowledge of Self,
Wisdom is impossible.
Wisdom comes into being
Through emotional mastery
(unattachment, to maintain equilibrium),
Acute mental discernment
(observation, to ascertain truth),
Controlled physical action
(mindfulness, to determine response) and
The ability to see the Divine in All.
And without Love,
Neither Knowledge
Nor Wisdom
Have much value.
