Very casually, we ask God for Wisdom, as if
it is there for the asking. Maybe, it IS, but not without human effort. What is
a prerequisite to wisdom is discernment, or, shall we say, they kind of go
together and one adorns the other.
To be discerning is to be measured, to be
aware of how much if head and how much of heart, how much of senses, how much
of emotion would make the right recipe for any particular occasion. And when
this gut feeling is finally right, then the result may be right for all
concerned and that would be wisdom.
We humans are frivolous many a time,
impulsive, too. Doing things without enough thought and introspection, often
lands us in deep and muddy waters. So, refrain!
Actually, harmony has a way of feeling like
a flowing river inside us. In every experience, if we can keep our core
unshaken, a "samabhaava", that is pure wisdom.
