I think wisdom is summed up pretty well in the word itself- Wisdom (wise-dumb)- a man who is “dumb” is often a deeply present person. He may lack knowledge and understanding but he is present and connected to his body. Conversely a man who is deeply knowledgeable may not be wise because knowledge alone can remove him from his body. He may know much about the world but be disconnected from what’s directly around him. A wise man is both knowledgeable and present or at least intelligent and present (wise and dumb). Therefore A wise man must be deeply understanding. He must understand how to incorporate knowledge without it disturbing his healthy state of being. Much of my take on this comes from George Gurdjieff’s teaching in “In Search of the Miraculous”
