Wisdom is not knowledge. The knowledgeable person cannot see it, he is blind. Only the innocent person can see it, only a child, one who knows nothing, one who functions from the state of not knowing, can know what wisdom is. Wisdom has nothing to do with knowledge, not at all; it has something to do with innocence. Something of the purity of the heart is a must; something of the emptiness of being is needed for wisdom to grow.

“Only those who are like small children will be able to enter into my kingdom of God.” Yes, Jesus is right.

Knowledge comes from without, wisdom wells up within. Knowledge is borrowed, wisdom is original. Wisdom is your insight into existence – not Buddha’s insight, not Atisha’s insight, not my insight, but your insight, absolutely your insight into existence.

When you are able to see with no dust of knowledge on the mirror of your soul, when your soul is without any dust of knowledge, when it is just a mirror, it reflects that which is. That is wisdom. That reflecting of that which is, is wisdom.

Knowledge gratifies the ego, wisdom happens only when the ego is gone, forgotten. Knowledge can be taught; universities exist to teach you. Wisdom cannot be taught, it is like an infection: you have to be with the wise, you have to move with the wise, and only then will something start moving inside you.

The movement in the disciple is not caused by the master; it is not under the law of cause and effect. It is what Carl Gustav Jung calls synchronicity. The master is so full of silence, so overflowing with innocence, that his presence triggers a process in you, simply triggers a process in you. Nothing is transferred; your inner being starts remembering “I also have the same treasure as my master, I had simply forgotten about it. I had moved into the without, keeping the within at the back. The treasure was not lost but only forgotten; I had fallen asleep.”

And the sleeping person at the most can dream that he is awake. But that too is a dream. That dream is knowledge. The person who is asleep and thinks that he knows…that is knowledge. But the person who really awakes is wisdom. Knowledge is a false, plastic substitute for wisdom.

Wisdom is true knowledge – rather knowing than knowledge, because it has no full stop to it. It goes on growing, it goes on flowing. The man of wisdom goes on learning; there never comes a stop.

Don’t be knowledgeable, be wise.

>Don’t be knowledgeable, be wise.
You don't LEARN to be wise. You just gradually become more wise out of different experiences. And you need knowledge to approach experiences correctly. So you literally can't be wise without being knowledgeable.

>In 1989 he was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize, he is the spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism – and he, himself is a self-confessed watch lover. The speech is of course by Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama. Granted, the ascetic monk is not the first name that comes to mind in connection with luxury watches. But the Dalai Lama has a weakness for mechanical watches and has been happy to disassemble and reassemble them for years. His personal collection consists of over 15 watches, about which, however, little is known. The native Tibetan wears his watches usually turned inwards on cheap elastic stainless steel bracelets, so that the housing and dial remain hidden.

>Such a rare watch, of course, also raises questions of its value. Hodinkee cites two sales of the same reference, which valued at $ 253,605 and $ 357,909.

Is wisdom affected by intelligence? Is wisdom dynamic? Something that is infinitely growing, constantly polishing itself to higher purity and intelligence determines the rate? Or is wisdom some infinite static thing, that once achieved, is uniform regardless of the differences between people achieving it? Can any being with consciousness achieve wisdom? Is consciousness even required for it?

>>14911686
Also, no child is truly born knowing "nothing". He knows to suck his mothers tits, he has instincts, he knows how to cry. If wisdom is known by those who know nothing, than it is known by no being that knows that it exists, so my fucking table is the wisest motherfucker there is, isn't he?
According to this logic, the more conscious you are, the less wise you are.
