What is the difference between the wisdom born of virtue and intelligence? Bhagawan explains and clarifies today.
Embodiments of Divine Love! Although clay is one, the products made out of it are varied in form and name. Gold is one, but many different ornaments are made out of it. Milk is the same, though it may be derived from cows of different colours. Though the Divine is one, He manifests Himself in various forms with different names. From the fathomless ocean, countless waves arise. Though the waves appear as different from each other, the ocean is one. Likewise, though living beings appear in the Universe in myriad forms, all of them are waves that have emerged from the ocean of Sat-chit-ananda (Being-Awareness-Bliss). The joys and sorrows man experiences in daily life, his attachments and aversions, his pursuit of sensory pleasures, are all due to the vagaries of the mind. As long as man is subject to the feeling of duality, he cannot be free from attachments and hatred. There can be no escape from dualism as long as man does not recognise his inherent divinity. There are today few who recognise unity in diversity, though there are any number of intellectuals who are engaged in promoting divisions and differences. One righteous man can protect the world more than a thousand intellectuals. Therefore, virtue is more sacred and noble than intelligence.

The essence of spirituality lies in visualising unity in diversity. This is the goal of human life. - BABA
