Can anything be more true?

Education sans wisdom, wisdom bereft of discrimination, action without discretion, erudition lacking sagacity, power not justified by credentials, statements not based on Truth, music wanting in melody, adoration not sustained by devotion, a person devoid of common sense and character, a student not endowed with humility - these serve no useful purpose. In addition to knowledge derived from the sacred texts, one should earn wisdom through experience. Knowledge without personal experience is futile.


- BABA


mia learnt the hard way never to judge a person without direct experience ...a few years back mia wud condemn at a glance..cat is amazed at how meditation can change a life for the better!

the best way to judge a person is to step into his/her shoes and walk a few miles, after tht who cares, the shoes are your's and the person is a mile away !!!
