Guest guest Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 There are three stages of wisdom: Jnana, Sujnana and Vijnana. Knowledge that is gained by the analysis of the objective world is Jnana. When this knowledge is further studied and practised to serve the best interests of the individual society, it becomes Sujnana, or beneficial wisdom. The intentions and urges that arise from the purified consciousness saturated with Divine qualities is Vijnana, the Highest Wisdom. Intelligence, intellect, intuition - these three govern the thoughts and actions of man. One leads to another. This is the significance of the prayer with which Gandhi awakened the urge for liberation, liberation not only from alien rule but also from alien tendencies and trends of thought. He caused the entire land to reverberate with the prayer that emanated from a million throats, Sabko sanmathi de Bhagawan - "O Lord! Grant everyone nobility of mind." Once that is assured, progress is certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
