Chapter 9
Knowledge & Wisdom
It takes 8,000 care fully handpicked blossoms to produce 1 gram (about 1 ml.) of Jasmine Absolute.
There are many among us, that include the educated who have no clear clue about what is knowledge and how to get it.
They are satisfied the trifle information that they might possess, as a knowledge.
Many among us suffer for failure to learning from experience. For several decades both educated and uneducated alike fall prey to the same tricks played out by cheats in the society.
But yet, generations of people become victims of the same tricks.
Some examples are the Chit fund fraud, real estate dealings, blade finance companies and pseudo god men are a few to quote.
We will stop discussion on knowledge with a great quote from ancient Chinese scholars.
If the knowledge is not extracted (and, in time) from messages through various processes, the efforts and time to learn them will be wasted.
Otherwise the arrival of new messages would erase or overwrite the already stored messages. You can compare it to a situation that when the flowers plucked are not processed in time, the scent would evaporate into air, The effort to grow the flower would go waste if not scent extracted in time.
After extraction of knowledge from messages through various processes, the extracted knowledge need to be preserved in such a way it comes handy when we need them, without any delay.
So they need to be sent to our Sub-conscious mind through internalization.
The internalized knowledge is called Wisdom.
