Each of us so born into this world, has an inherent obligation to search for that which is the ultimate truth, and therefore we should not allow ourselves to become distracted from this all-important mission. While it is true, that different people have different capabilities, all of us have some capability and virtually everyone has some degree of power to develop their mind in a manner in which valued knowledge is obtained and retained. Those then that will not make the effort to seek wisdom, and consciously decide not to pursue such a noble effort for whatever reasons, are those then that seem to prefer mindless entertainment or idleness to being the defining master of their lives, instead.
Then there are those others that are proud of the knowledge that they have obtained, and are able to successfully demonstrate such knowledge to their contemporaries and through their work; but knowledge is not the same thing as wisdom. So that it is fair to say that knowledge in and of itself, is not a prerequisite for wisdom; for wisdom is the true perception of who and what we really are, unbounded from the constraints of seeing this world and its laws as the ultimate reality, when in actuality this world is no more and no less than a proving ground, so created to test us in a field of battle, so as to determine whether we have the discretion within this field of free choice to consistently go out and to do the right thing.
The essence of wisdom is that wisdom as a form of truth, does not ever changed, for wisdom is not subject to the vicissitudes of mankind’s mind and thought patterns. Rather, it is humankind that changes through the virtue of obtaining wisdom, for humankind far too often lives within a world of distortion, shadows, and detours; of which, quite obviously the more illuminated the pathway becomes for humankind, the clearer and truer are the perceptions that are then understood, through the wisdom so known.
It is only those that seek and achieve wisdom, and through those alone, that humankind is ever able to evolve; for the human form is so intoxicating to so many, that many people often get so caught up within it, that bodily needs and often the greed of desire to have this or to obtain that, addles the mind in such a way that humankind very quickly begins to devolve into selfishness, manipulation, and aggression. That is to say, that if the perception is that humankind is really no more than a higher order of a beast, then those so believing in that mindset, are hopelessly lost. In fact, the dissatisfaction that so many feel deep within their psyche, is the dissatisfaction of knowing that life for all of its lures, seems purposeless, when we are unable to perceive that we are not mortal beings, but immortal spirit.
All those that will not seek, will not find; in direct contrast to all those that sincerely seek and are persistent to that search, will surely find; for God wants to test our devotion to our Maker, of which those that are true devotees will seek wisdom and from that wisdom, will find that which was always meant to be found.
