Knowledge And Wisdom


Knowledge And Wisdom


Knowledge is the foundation of understanding to know Creator and creational realities within this existence and beyond. If we analyze its core concept and dive deep into its meaning, then we will arrive at a definite conclusion. It leads to asking a question covering each and everything within our observation and imagination. It is a fact that question is the key to knowledge. Great philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as, "justified true belief, though well-justified true belief." In order to understand comprehensively then it needs considerable amount of time and scholarly discussion in academic environments.
It is also a fact that philosophy's core is the theory of knowledge. Imam Jaffer-e-Sadiq says that knowledge is the comrade of a faithful believer. Therefore, knowledge is defined philosophically, which is based on justification, truth and believe. Hence, it is mandatory and obligatory that the seeker of knowledge should adopt a virtuous path and be a firm believer and justifies his actions and deeds.
Wisdom is defined as the ability to think and act using knowledge. It is an important virtue affecting our performance leading to transformation of personality. Hence, the personality reflects maturity of mind and conduct of a character establishing a reputable stature. It is important to note that all these factors of knowledge and wisdom are solely dependent on truth and honesty. It is also significant that heart and mind are synchronized both in actions and deeds, thereby, culminating in a state of contentment. Anything other than truth and honesty is the perversion of knowledge and wisdom.
