To seek for “Wisdom” one needs to maintain the following:-
- Silence
- Listening
- Remembrance
- Practice
- Teaching
For someone to acquire wisdom and to grow spiritually, the first thing to do is to learn how to maintain silence in the face of every provocation and challenge. The next step is for one to learn how to listen to every word anyone says and to the sound of every thing and every word spoken and unspoken. All that one needs to do is to be silent and listen patiently. Silence and listening lead to understanding and knowledge. Silence and listening enable one to remember what is said and how it is said. The factors as mentioned above lead to knowledge and understanding of physical and natural laws. For someone to attain “Spirituality”, he or she needs to practise both the physical and natural laws to maintain order. They said that “practice makes perfect” and through forming the habit of maintaining and practising the act of silence and listening patiently enable one to acquire wisdom and Spiritual Reality. To be silent and listening to whatever that is said enable someone to remember what is said and presents answer in a soothing word. He who maintains and practises natural laws acquires wisdom, knowledge and understanding. He acquires steady spiritual growth, and it is natural for him to or her to pass on the knowledge to others by teaching them what is right.
