The Wise
"The intellect of the wise is like glass, it admits the light of heaven and reflects it."
Each one of us can think; whether right or wrong, we can decide. As human beings, we are knowledgeable. However, some of us do not have the same knowledge as the others. Some of us know things that others do not. Some of us understand what others do not understand. Some of us agree what others disagree. All of us can think, but still, the uniqueness of every individual is there.
Inspite of all those differences, only a few are wise enough to share what they have learned. Only a few will share his knowledge so that others can enjoy it. Only a few can make others understand what he has already understood. Lastly, only a few can convince others. It is because only a few of us are wise.
These rare persons understand that genuine knowledge come from God and this knowledge is called wisdom. They got their wisdom from the words and deeds of God. Because they got it from God himself, they know that this kind knowledge must be shared, understood and convinced by their fellowmen. Wise people do not keep knowledge for themselves, they let others absorb it and live with it. They are like glass, they admit the wisdom of God and reflects this wisdom towards others who did not know and understand it, and also for those who are lost in their own knowledge.
