Wisdom and Knowledge

Wisdom is gaining knowledge about the absolute. Wisdom (aka jnana in Hinduism) is knowing God and his system. Understanding the crux of Bhagavad Gita, sacred scriptures of Jainism, the Buddhist scriptures, Bible and Quran is Wisdom.

Gaining different types of knowledge (it can be bookish knowledge, vocal knowledge or any other type of knowledge) while in a school or College is termed as knowledge.

All knowledge gained helps us live this physical manifested world in a better way. But gaining wisdom leads us directly towards the kingdom of God. This is the ultimate reality.

Gaining knowledge does not necessarily mean gaining knowledge about the kingdom of God. If we are to fare well in the physical manifested world... we need to gain good knowledge of any profession to succeed.

On the contrary if we desire to gain enlightenment and finally salvation (liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever) we need to indulge ourselves in studying the various scriptures.

Wisdom leads us towards getting liberated from the human form once and for all. Knowledge makes us wise to lead a happy and cheerful life in the physical manifested world.

The onus is on every human being to choose the path... whether we desire to gain ultimate wisdom and leave this mortal world forever by gaining enlightenment and salvation or we desire to take birth again and again on Mother Earth and enjoy life with our love of life.

As willed by God every human being has been given a maximum of 1.1 million manifestations in the form of a human being and that equals approximately 12.1 million earthly years before we finally gain enlightenment and salvation automatically.

If we desire to gain enlightenment and salvation early... we need to digest the pearls of wisdom hidden in the various sacred scriptures of different religions. Mahavira did that and so did Gautama Buddha. Jesus Christ also traveled the path of enlightenment and finally salvation and so did Prophet Mohammed.

Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... all were men of wisdom. In the initial stages of their life they realized that bookish knowledge alone would not lead them to the ultimate goal of life.

Being a success in life does not necessarily mean one is full of wisdom. A cobbler sitting by the tree toiling hard day and night to earn his living may be much ahead of a King on the path of wisdom.

In the house of God... it is difficult to differentiate and analyze who is a man of wisdom other than the worldly knowledge one possesses. More on jnana here - wisdom jnana

Gain Wisdom Knowledge The primary reason why people must apply themselves to knowledge and learning is... Settling for something higher in life! Devoid of good education and learning... the level of human beings reduces to that of contract labor! Higher the levels of learning... better are we placed in our career... a chosen goal of life!

Wisdom vs Knowledge Wisdom is exploring the real self of us... the world of our soul atman within! If we desire gaining Wisdom... we need to travel the spiritual path. Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna in the battle of Mahabharata is pure Wisdom. All the 700 verses contained in Bhagavad Gita give the real gist of life! The knower of Bhagavad Gita becomes the knower of all... one practically becomes omniscient!

Gaining Intelligence There is no secret in becoming intelligent... gaining intelligence! Practically intelligence is gained by two processes... the bookish knowledge and experience. As one matures in life different experiences increase our level of intelligence on the earthly plane. Bookish knowledge gives us expertise in the field of our choice.

Define Knowledge Now I was to control the flow of thoughts from the reservoir of mind plus and mind minus. Having controlled all the five senses in entirety... controlling the flow of thoughts from the reservoir of mind was not difficult. Ultimately came a stage when only those thoughts were invoked that were desired by me. All undesirable and thoughts of negative nature were discarded outright.

Common Sense vs Wisdom Common sense is guided by our intellect and intellect is the knowledge gained out of books and experiences. It is nowhere related to wisdom. As we proceed on the journey of life we are guided by two factors... our intellect (aka Buddhi in Hinduism) and the wisdom directly gained from God Almighty.
