Knowing What To Know.

[In celebration of Ghandi's birthday - 

India, Raj Patidar]

If wisdom and joy

are both

good,

then

wise people

are

joyful people.

What about

knowledgeable

people,

without

wisdom?

Are they

all

joyful?

No.

Why?

Is there a difference

between

wisdom and knowledge?

*

You could be 
knowledgeable,
yet 
unwise.

Without wisdom,

knowledge could reduce you

into a

complete fool.

If

wisdom

 is

not its

master,

he will

master you.

He imprisons you

in a 

vicious cycle

where you

race round and round and round

and

never get anywhere.

He floods

your head

to the point

you think you're

great.

He exalts

man-made thoughts and reasonings,

analyses and philosophies.

He wins

when

men indulge

in

basking under their

own brilliance

and

glory in themselves.

He wins

when he makes you

proud,

stubborn,

with a mind of your own.

And in

all 

your

strength,

effort

and

intellect,

you are still a

man -

knowledgeable,

intelligent,

strong,

diligent,

and

altogether

unhappy,

confused,

angry

and

chronically empty.

Without

Wisdom,

Knowledge

has the power

to

depress, exhaust,

strip you from joy

and abandon you

naked and cold.

How?
