What is the Knowledge and What is Wisdom?

 Greetings of the Day, 

Today I will be attempting to strike the difference on 2 words : Knowledge and Wisdom.

What is knowledge : the sum of what is known. It can be vaguely said only when you learn, read, comprehend, absorb and apply you have the knowledge of a particular subject or anything in particular. Knowledge can be absorbed, achieved by doing hard work, and perseverance. It is available to every being who seeks and struggles for it. But sometimes ends in Ahankar (अहंकार) so called Pride. 

Knowledge makes you Prosperous, Accomplished, Prestigious, and Classy. But you need to be careful as it can also develop, jealousy, avarice, fear, impatience and lastly vengeance.

Knowledge maybe pure in the beginning but if not taken wisely it always ends up in committing Hasty decisions. 

On the Contrary Wisdom is also partly knowledge but it develops with consciousness and conscience. It helps you to discriminate between what is right and wrong. It enables you to think and make the apt decisions when times are against the tide. Wisdom is a generic term, but the most apt word would be Vivek Buddhi (विवेक बुद्धि ). It makes you calmer, composed, patient, and lastly content. 

It of course still makes your life prosperous, accomplished, self-sufficient and lastly Humble but always has a spiritual touch to it which makes it more ethereal.

One of the most simple example is the invention/use of a knife. What knowledge does is, it tell us the uses of this knife which are  to hurt or kill a person or helps us prepare food in the kitchen, but wisdom enables us the use the knife for the right purpose even during trying times.

So one must choose whether he/she wants to be a Knowledgeable Person or a Wise Person?

Note : This is just an outburst of thoughts and none of this related to any context or a person or individual if it happens to converge with any facts or figures it is deemed to be purely co-incidental .
