There are two sources of knowing; one is logic, another is love. Through logic you arrive at knowledge; through love you arrive at wisdom. Knowledge only gives you superficial information; wisdom gives you a deep, profound insight into things. Knowledge is only accumulation. One can accumulate as much as one wants: the human brain is such a biocomputer that it can contain all the libraries of the world. But still, you remain the same. It is like a donkey carrying the load of many scriptures. That's what scholars are: donkeys loaded with scriptures. They know much but they don't know themselves. All their knowledge is borrowed.
Love gives you true knowledge. It makes your life a scripture. It makes you awakened to the beauty of existence, to the tremendous grace of life and all that it contains, to the presence of God. Logical cannot do it, and those who depend on knowledge remain poor.
Depend on love and all the riches of the world are yours. Depend on love and the kingdom of God is yours. Knowledge becomes a bondage, wisdom is liberation. Knowledge is very noisy, wisdom is absolutely silent. It knows, but it knows in a silent way; it does not brag. Knowledge brags because it is nothing but an ego trip. Wisdom cannot brag because before wisdom happens the ego has to
disappear.
Exactly that is the meaning of love: surrendering the ego, dropping it, becoming egoless. And whenever you are egoless love starts flowing through you. You can call that love God or light or bliss or wisdom.
