Who is Wise?
Dear Friends
Happy Evening
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection,
which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest;
and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”
―
Following is a small incident narrated by Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Two men went into a garden. One began to count the number of
mangoes in each tree, how many mangoes each tree bore,
and what might be the approximate price of the whole orchard.
The other went to the owner, acquainted himself and quietly
going under a mango-tree began to pluck the fruits and eat them
with the owner's consent.
Now who is the wiser of the two? Eat mangoes, it will satisfy your hunger.
What is the good of counting the leaves and making vain calculations?
The vain man of intellect is uselessly busy in finding out the
'why and wherefore' of creation, while the humble man of wisdom
makes acquaintance with the Creator and enjoys Supreme Bliss in this world.
Kind Regards
