Wisdom and beyond

Uncategorized 1 Minute

We are living in the age of information overload and ChatGPT is used to glean through tons of data and present a synopsis but this actually handicaps us in a sense that we forget using the faculty of analysing. There is a reason that we were made to mug up tables upto 20 in school, which was made redundant by use of calculators. We have been given faculties with powers beyond our imagination but we choose to uphold convenience & ignore the loss of abilities… 

What use is information if it does not help you in obtaining knowledge which is gained by experiencing the causality(cause-effect) of implementing the information and what use is knowledge if it is not converted to wisdom which is gained by change in habits by the results experienced in the knowledge phase and what use is wisdom if it does not help you in experiencing the essence of “This too shall pass”….

You simply can’t jump from school directly to PhD, each one of us has to pass through each stage of information – knowledge – wisdom and beyond, there are no shortcuts to maturity.
