By slavery I mean not the traditional
slavery system that prevailed all over the world for centuries. That was
physical slavery. But slavery continues even today, at a mental level. We
remain indebted to thought leaders for their ideas and try to implement them without
even thinking whether or not that idea as such works in our context.
What a difference do the words, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom make in you?
More often
than not, we hear these words. Everybody wants to be informed. Everybody wants
to have knowledge. And, everybody likes to be wise.
We get information from various
sources. They are just information, just stimulants for thoughts.
We have to search, to find some knowledge about it. Information is not deep.It's superficial'
Knowledge has something more in it than an information has. We read books; attend lectures and classes; we see videos and demonstrations. All these, individually and sometimes combined, give us knowledge. When we apply this knowledge into our work, we simply are borrowing ideas from others. Their experiences control you. Because, the ownership of your knowledge vests in somebody other than you. You are indebted; you are a slave.
Wisdom, on the other hand is within you. If knowledge is moon light, which is nothing other than Sunrays’ reflections, which, put in other words, makes the moon indebted to the sun for its light, Wisdom is the sun's rays itself. The sun has no indebtedness. The Sun is not a slave, but is a Master. Wisdom is like the sun's rays. Wisdom and you are inseparable. Wisdom is your true light. You are then your own master, not a slave any longer. Do not learn to quote. Let others quote you. Let this be the watch word of success. Just think over.
