Real Wisdom

5 Posted by - July 14, 2013 - Radhanath Swami

 

Real wisdom is not about just getting a degree; that’s academic knowledge, which could be helpful. Real wisdom is to see the hand of God and to see how to reciprocate with the hand of God, and to be grateful! A grateful heart can recognize the blessings in everything. An ungrateful heart never recognizes any blessing, and therefore cannot grow in that blessing. Gratitude is one of the most essential human virtues for real inner prosperity and real inner happiness. And it especially helps us reconnect to the divine.

    Being grateful to the creator and His creation are the symptoms of a respectful person with good character.

    Nice message from Radhanath Swami. We should understand that without having real wisdom, one cannot attain the perfection which is to know who he is, who God is and what the relation is.

    Very true! Real knowledge is not the academic knowledge that we acquire. True knowledge is to reciprocate with the Lord and develop for him.

    As a human being, one has to show his gratitude to God who supplies all essential things in his life. All glories to HH Radhanatha Svami Maharaja.

    I have observed and many people have experienced this teachings by H H Radhanath Swami. He himself follows and inspires thousands of people in the world to be grateful. We can learn from the life of great people like Srila Prabhupad that they have complete faith in the Lord and they always appreciate whatever comes in their life. They are showing their gratitude to the Lord in all the situations. Such great souls inspires us to have complete faith in the Lord for all the situation and incidents in our life.

    Getting a degree is education which helps one to make a living. Real, true education or knowledge is to know oneself and to know what is our relationship with the supreme.
    Radhanth swamiji has very beautifully expressed this above.
