Of the many lessons we learn on this earth, one of the foremost is: whatever you would like to imbibe or have for yourself, the same things you should tolerate in others. In the same way, whatever you tolerate or appreciate in others, you also imbibe. Whatever freedom you allow to others, that freedom releases you.
       Wisdom is not a method that can be learned or attained by efforts. Neither is it the product of thinking only. On the contrary, thinking and analysis may perpetuate a circular motion, going round and round, producing only relative results. Therefore intellect alone cannot make you wise. This may sound revolutionary, but wisdom has nothing to do with the thinking process.
       At our present level of evolution, thinking is necessary, but not when you perceive from a deeper and higher truth. In the next evolution, feeling is higher than thinking, and faith is higher than reasoning. Faith is vertical in motion while reasoning is circular, horizontal.  Faith raises your consciousness, moving you upward to the Goal, which reasoning does not.
       When you are open, Truth penetrates you and releases you. It makes you free. Then insight and wisdom are born. You will become so caring, so compassionate, that you could not even harm a bird or an insect, except unawares. You will care for all beings and creatures. This cosmic unity and harmony of creation, called Rta Dharma in Sanskrit, you will see and realize. You will know that all life is interdependent, and that independence is a myth. The Truth that makes us free is greater than any independence we could imagine.
