Of little importance is the loss of such things as wealth. But a terrible thing is to lose wisdom. Of little importance is the gaining of such things as wealth. Great is the importance of gaining wisdom.

Notes from a dirty rotten spud

Define wisdom...that's the tricky part.
The development of wisdom is greatly facilitated by seeing our little hypocrisies and large illusions and learning to be more forthright and honest with ourselves and others. Wisdom is seeing the the true nature of things - exactly as described in the Four Noble Truths. Wisdom is higher consciousness, wakefulness, and awareness. Wisdom is self-knowledge: Wisdom is truth manifested as clarity of vision. Widsom sees that light and dark are inseparable and that shadows are also light.
-Surya Das
