Wisdom (jnana) is the precious ambrosia gathered from all sources of knowledge. It’s the sweet sustaining butter churned and collected from scriptures. Wisdom isn’t the capacity to discriminate and declare, “This is flat, this is round”, “or this is a hill, a house”, and so on. These are common knowledge! Next, we may have good knowledge (sujnana), when one distinguishes between right and wrong, or good and bad, or when you discover that a particular activity is for my betterment and others. Both wisdom and good knowledge are confined to one’s intellect! There is a higher wisdom when the heart is transformed by loyalty to truth, non-violence, and compassion. A person with this higher wisdom understands their ownself and their kinship with the cosmos and its Creator. The person lives in accordance with that understanding, without doubt or disharmony. The yardstick for higher wisdom is dharma (righteousness). The more dharma is put into practice, the more one gets rooted in the higher wisdom.
