Cleverness vs. Wisdom

Cleverness and complexity are not necessarily wisdom. Bowl of Saki, August 20, by Hazrat Inayat Khan Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan: Man likes complexity. He does not want to take only one step; it is more interesting to look forward to millions of steps. The one who is seeking the truth gets into a maze, and that maze interests him. He wants to go through it a thousand times more. It is just like children. Their whole interest is in running about; they do not want to see the door and... Sign in to see full entry.
