Q: Guruji, What really is wisdom? Why should we be wise?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Nobody
wants to be in suffering. Nobody wants to be upset. That something
which takes us away from suffering, which gives us a vision, which makes
life vibrant, and which connects the individual you to the universal
you that exists in the universe, is wisdom. Wisdom brings immense
satisfaction that small gratification does not bring. And it is
available to everybody. It has nothing to do with education, I tell you.
You will find wise people even amongst the illiterates in the villages.
Perhaps even more. They know how to manage their homes, they know how
to keep harmony in their neighbourhood, they know how to bring people
together, and how to bring celebration in life. Wisdom is that which
brings celebration in life, which brings a smile on your face. That
which keeps you healthy, and gives you the intuitive ability to see what
is ahead of you in life.
