Now this involves more than intellect. Some of the most brilliant people can be the greatest fools. Wisdom is not merely knowledge or the ability, or intelligence or genius. Knowledge is knowing the facts, wisdom is getting the facts to work. Knowledge is knowing how something works, wisdom is getting it to work for you.
Wisdom is the power and ability to use the facts, in the ordinary practical things of life.
There are many who know great spiritual truth, but cannot make it work. Don't talk about right and wrong, I just want what I want. They rush in assuming because they are sincere, they must be right. You can be sincerely wrong. Decisions affect more than the present.
