Wisdom


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.

Practical analysis

Every thought I read these days throws me into a world of practical analysis and its usability.
Someone read out the following:
It is better to have a heart without words, rather than words without a heart. Now, no one in their right minds would even think of refuting this. But, the opposite is happening, Sweet words without any heart in it is achieving fantastic results.
It's like also the saying that, you love people and use things. Woah! Really! But what is happening is the opposite. Things are being loved and people being used.
Under such conditions of families and societies, grief should be made into a completely redundant emotion. Completely deleted, or you can risk losing many years of your life, not to mention the quality.
Everything, as Hegel theorizes, is cyclical. Thesis, anti thesis and finally, synthesis, the phase of balance, like the period of Renaissance brought in many changes for the better after a saturation point had been reached.
So, let this cycle go on, the wheel of time and karma keep turning. Stay clean and let others realize as they go along their journey.
There will be people in your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Only when you discover the seasonal ones will you be able to see beyond into the circle of real people who will always be there. Until then, the intensity of your myopia will keep increasing. "Friends" will help you get sophisticated, cosmetic eye wear. But, only you can improve your inner eyesight which goes through your heart.
