So wisdom is an integral component of the life
of a serious person. They can fight better, proceed ahead and reach their
life’s mission. It accomplishes their life in this world.
Wisdom means the trait of utilizing knowledge and
experience with common sense and insight. It is the unique quality of mankind
among all creations of God on this planet earth. Lack of wisdom of a person
makes his animal-like nature. A person is not a machine of the brain, it is a
combination of the physical machine as a physical human body and the complex
non-physical human body, popularly known as soul. Soul synonymously use spirit,
is a divine part and the physical body is the part of nature. Thus, wisdom is
error-free, its source is from God. Therefore, wisdom comes with common sense
and insight. Source of inner calling, insight, creativity, rationality, the
ability of exploration, innate ability etc. are the soul of a human. This makes
man distinguish from the animal.
The practical life of a meaningful and purposeful
person mandatorily need wisdom. Mere knowledge is useless. When a piece of
knowledge meets with the divine spark of wisdom, it will give birth to man’s
creativity, rationality, the ability of exploration etc. in an error-free
manner with perfections. Intelligence quotient (IQ) does not correlate with
wisdom. Wisdom does not act for evil acts, because its source is from God. Evil
creativity often comes from IQ from nature without wisdom.
Wisdom has a major role in decision making in
practical life. Wisdom from God is very essential to make the best decisions in
a different real-life situation. Quality of rationality alone insufficient for
making the best decisions in life. The human being is completely vulnerable if
it lacks wisdom. Wisdom of human being makes his life meaningful and
purposeful. It is a kind of revelation and/or enlightenment to a person on all
occasions, who consider life seriously.
Insight in wisdom
Insight is an essential and mandatory component of
wisdom. Insight means clear (and often sudden) with a deep perception of
understanding a complex situation. As this perception is deep and complex, it
is not from external but sources but from internal. It has no relation to our physical
body. Either we accept or reject this, it is a fact. In scripture states that
man created by God in God’s image. Thus, all human are in God’s image, they
have the ability of creation to make this world with more amazing experiences
of life to subdue nature. The creativity of man is generally for subduing
nature but not to surrender it. So this is a fight between man and nature to
experience more wonderful potentials of God. God’s first order to human states
that in scripture “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful,
and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over
the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing
that moveth upon the earth.” Based on this scripture, the creativity of man
started on this planet earth. It continued to till now in a most modern
development in science and technologies, which even foolishly stronger to
question the existence of God. It happens due to the free will of mankind; to
do things according to his will. Here, IQ is a part of nature, wisdom is in the
divine part of human. If IQ and freewill act alone, it will generally yield
evil results and acts in evil creativity. But, if IQ, wisdom and freewill
get-together, it will definitely yield good results and acts in good
creativity.
Innate abilities are also one kind of result of
wisdom. Each person in this world has a unique infinite innate ability, but
only a few people distinguish their divine spark. They know as a genius, public
figure or celebrities.
Effective Decision Making
Effective decision making is another key result of
wisdom. Generally, people supposed to take decisions based on the principles of
rationality and morality. Rationality and morality based on reason and
revelation are mandatory for good decision making. But how principles of
rationality and morality can be applied in real life’s different complex
situations, there is the essentiality of wisdom in good decision making. All
decisions have a futuristic impact of implications and consequences. It can be
a blessing for the way forward or cursing to life ahead. So all good decision
must have three components i.e. wisdom, morality and rationality. Then, it will
be error-free. A serious person must have this three-component in all walks of
life. Ability to make good decisions has a wide spectrum of advantages in
different situations and scenarios in life; for a person need to act his duties
and responsibilities in a meaningful and purposeful way. Majorly, it reflects
in family, relationships, career etc.
Common sense in wisdom
Common sense is a sound practical judgment. It is not
based on feelings and emotions but based on behaviours and actions. Common
sense is a part of wisdom like insight. But the interesting part about common
sense is that ‘Common sense is not common to all’. It develops through
socialization from religious doctrines. Rational thinking and critical analysis
play a major role in common sense formation. Intellectual Consciences and
spirit of science make common sense applicable to all areas of life including
different academic disciplines and developments in science and technology. It
can be tested with fundamental theories and historical records.
Common sense is like one side of coin wisdom, another
side is insight. Both sides are very important and relevant for utilizing
knowledge and experience for the betterment of life of a person, beyond that
humanity as a whole. Insight or inner calling or inner thoughts often tested by
common sense for practical reality. So common sense make sure that
outcome-based wisdom is good and right.
Meaningful and Purposeful life
Life has a definite meaning and purpose. The
actualization of life can be experienced and achieved only by a meaningful and
purposeful life. It is absolutely impossible without God in our life. Purpose
of life can simply state that “Being more good to reach more order”. People
born with chaos and vulnerabilities, but due to the socialization of religious
study (Doctrine & Discipline) make them be more good. Meaning of life can
simply state that "It's transcending in nature by Good, Right, Happy,
Satisfied and Stable experiences as a human being". It is a fight between
good and evil. We can either fight for good or evil. Noone can both. So fight
for good with freewill. Effective life with meaning and purposeful can be lead
with rationality, morality and wisdom. Rationality is based on reason, morality
based on religious doctrine and discipline, and wisdom from God. When people
try to become more successful than good, it enhances chaos and eventually leads
to a loss of purpose in life. Also when people see the physical world in
limited nature of experiences by feelings and emotions, it further leads to a
meaningless life. So God, Universe, Earth, Men & Women etc. have a cause,
meaning and purpose.
