A Highly Educated Family:
A highly educated family held influential roles in the country. As scientists, engineers, doctors, politicians, IAS, or IPS officers, their expertise and intellect were unmatched in the town. They served society, but only to the extent that benefited themselves, while the needy stood before them in humble posture. Meanwhile, society lagged behind, underscoring the vast disparity between their success and the community's struggles.
The Transformative Power of Wisdom:
A community meeting was convened to address the deteriorating condition of society. The discussion concluded with a poignant observation: 'Despite having knowledgeable and intelligent individuals in influential roles, society's progress has declined due to their lack of wisdom to overcome selfishness.'
The meeting's minutes further emphasized: 'These individuals possess knowledge and intelligence, but lack wisdom. Wisdom surpasses knowledge and intelligence (Wisdom 6:12-16). As stated in this scripture:
'Wisdom shines bright and never grows dim; those who love her and look for her can easily find her. She is quick to make herself known to anyone who desires her. Get up early in the morning to find her, and you will have no problem; you will find her sitting at your door. To fasten your attention on Wisdom is to gain perfect understanding. Because she will be looking for those who are worthy of her, and she will find you wherever you are.'
Why Wisdom is the Ultimate Game-Changer:
The community recognized that knowledge and intelligence without wisdom are meaningless. True character building requires wisdom, which guides individuals to utilize their knowledge and intelligence for humanitarian purposes. Wisdom seeks selfless service, human development, and purity.
Moreover, wisdom and evil cannot coexist. One who renounces evil receives wisdom and can share it with others. Wisdom detests evil and will only be granted to those who genuinely renounce evil. In contrast, actions without wisdom may end in selfishness, arrogance, hypocrisy, showmanship, and greed.
Therefore, the community resolved to prioritize wisdom, recognizing its transformative power to foster a more compassionate and just society.
Key Takeaways:
1. Wisdom and evil are sworn enemies.
2. Wisdom is the master of knowledge and intelligence.
A Lifetime Opportunity:
This precious life offers a chance to renounce evil, embrace wisdom, and contribute to societal well-being with humility, forever.
A Universal Goal:
If only world leaders, officials, governments, and citizens embraced wisdom, societies worldwide would experience peaceful lives with exponential growth and equal opportunities.
A Sincere Prayer:
- May intelligent, knowledgeable, and educated individuals seek wisdom.
- May all world leaders, officials, governments, and citizens seek wisdom.
- May suffering, humiliation, poverty, inequality, and deprivation decline in the world.
Amen!
