Wisdom is not Knowledge. We do gain Knowledge after listening,reading and observing many things in this world but it is not wisdom in real sense. Wisdom only appears in the mind when mental hinderances, obstructions and other impurities are not active in the mind.
There are many learned people all over the world who no doubt have wonderful knowledge but nfortunately lack proper wisdom. Many people are intelligent but their behaviour however is not reasonable, as some are hot-tempered, egoistic, emotional, jealous, greedy and temperamental. Intellectuals are more cunning rather than wise.
On the other hand, there are others who are very kind and although they have patience, tolerance and many other good qualities, their wisdom is very poor as they can be easily misled by others. If we develop our generosity without proper understanding, we could get into trouble as certain people can take undue advantage of us. understanding and good qualities must therefore go together.
"A learned fool is more foolish than an ignoranr fool."
