Beautiful Mams. Hazrat Khan sums up my entire disposition. To seek wisdom.  
And to share it with all mankind. I recommend you forward this to our 
people in  Gambia who are not within earshot of Ellen.
 
Thank you again. Just don't forward anything from Richard and Ruth that is  
longer than a page. You and I will become bosom buddies. And don't get any 
funny  ideas again. What do you think of Ndeye Sissoko? The announcer at 
MALI TV  ORTM?
 
Haruna. Evian I don't wanna hear it.

Wisdom is intelligence in its pure essence, which  is not necessarily 
dependent
upon the knowledge of names and  forms.

Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by  Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

Often people confuse the two terms  intellect and wisdom; sometimes they 
use the
word intellect for  wisdom, sometimes wisdom for intellect. In point of fact
these are  two different qualities altogether. The knowledge which is 
learned  by
knowing names and forms in the outside world belongs to the  intellect; but 
there
is another source of knowledge, and that source  of knowledge is within 
oneself.

The words 'within oneself' might  confuse some people. They might think 
'within
oneself' means inside  one's body; but that is because man is ignorant of
himself. Man has a  very poor idea of himself, and this keeps him in 
ignorance of
his  real self. If man only knew how large, how wide, how deep, how high is 
 his
being, he would think, act, and feel differently; but with all  his width, 
depth,
and height, if man is not conscious of them he is  as small as he thinks 
himself
to be.

The essence of milk is  butter, the essence of the flower is honey, the 
essence
of grapes is  wine, and the essence of life is wisdom. Wisdom is not 
necessarily
a  knowledge of names and forms; wisdom is the sum total of that knowledge  
which
one gains both from within and without.

Intellectual  knowledge has much to do with the brain, while wisdom comes  
from
within the heart. In wisdom both head and heart work. One may  call the 
brain the
seat of the intellect, and the heart the throne of  wisdom; but they are not
actually located in the brain or in the  heart. Wisdom may be called 
spiritual
knowledge but the best  definition of wisdom would be perfect knowledge, the
knowledge of  life within and without. How does one pursue the wisdom which 
 is
within? By first realizing that intuition exists within  oneself....

It is not meant by this that everyone should become a  kind of super-being. 
It is
not meant at all that people should be  able to perform wonders or 
miracles; it
is only intended that they  should live a fuller life and become real human
beings, in order to  bring about better conditions in the world. What do we 
want?
We want  human beings. It is not necessary that everyone should become  
religious,
or exceedingly pious, or too good to live. We want wise  men in business, in
politics, in education, in all walks of life;  those who do not live only 
on the
surface and those who do not  believe only in matter, but who see life both
within and without. It  is such souls who will produce beauty; it is such 
souls
who will  harmonize the world, who will bring about the conditions we need  
today.
