A life is excelled by the power of wisdom it
possesses. Wisdom in a life occurs rarely, it is hard to find; if life is
comparable to a river its wisdom is like gems it conceals here and there along
its way. A life is a display of many things that we can simply call its variety.
This variety however may keep our attention away from the real benefit we can
get from it, the wisdom.
Wisdom is at
the core of all things that happen around us, which are different processes.
The correct rhythm of these processes as well as their correct execution is
decided by their underlying wisdom. What are these processes? Let’s take the
growing of a tree from a seed. This is a process that keeps happening over and
over around us. The correct timing and correct execution of the job of the
creation of a tree from a seed has wisdom behind it.
Or let’s
take the process of rain. The collection of water by the wind and turning it
into droplets of water - the timely falling of which is highly valued by the receiving
community - has wisdom behind it. It may not be as exactly timed as the
germination of a seed but it is also a process of nature with its own timing.
You may
wonder how what we call ‘wisdom’ has anything to do with a natural process as
growing of a tree or falling of rain which are obviously jobs of nature. The
connection is hard to comprehend, and this is why we need to make an effort to
see it and feel it in us.
Obviously it
is not the same ‘wisdom’ that we refer to in our everyday affairs.
Our everyday
wisdom is a social criteria that we use for determining how understandable we
are in our interactions. This wisdom gives us an edge in reaching our goals
prior to others, by being able to predict what is going to happen in a given
situation enabling us to plan transactions for our own better benefit.
The wisdom
behind the processes of nature goes down the same line as our ‘everyday wisdom’,
but much farther down the way. So the two has little resemblance. Everyday
wisdom may make us wise, rich and wealthy. The wisdom of nature makes us whole,
healthy and complete. We may call the wisdom of nature the real wisdom.
Real wisdom is the pulse of the nature.
It can
detect the wisdom behind processes of nature to which belong our own existence
itself.
Our existence
is a process of nature. The same wisdom that is behind other processes of
nature work behind our existence as well.
The advantage
of the life that we possess is the opportunity it offers to discover real
wisdom within it. Real wisdom is always working in all aspects of our life,
just as it is working in the nature around us. There are rules and regulations
that these processes follow, patterns that never change, all based on the real
wisdom.
Getting to
know real wisdom discloses these rules and patterns to us which stay unknown even
though they are at the basis of our existence.
Conforming
to real wisdom is the same as being one with a growing tree, or pouring rain,
if you find out their secret you have become one with real wisdom.
