"Wisdom lies between the words, behind the concepts. It’s older than the mind. It may be reached through the mind, like sunlight through a prism, but it doesn’t attach itself anywhere. It emerges spontaneously, right from the heart of creation. It’s alive, intelligent, and it lurks in our DNA. It’s hard to explain this to people with a strong mental polarity in life.
We can’t grasp onto Wisdom. It will elude us like a slippery fish, and if we make it into knowledge, it’ll no longer be Wisdom. It’ll have become ossified and only have limited use. Wisdom is endlessly useful. We speak about pearls of Wisdom, and that’s what they are - endlessly dripping from the heavens. The beauty of Wisdom is its very ephemeral nature. Because it detonates like soap bubbles it can’t be trapped, caught, or materialised. Wisdom emanates from everything, even the very smallest things. A snail has more Wisdom than the greatest logician or scientist. But the greatest wisdom of all lies in our body."
