Wisdom is superior to knowledge. Wisdom is at the disposal of all despite our intellectual capabilities. Wisdom is free for all those who seek. Wisdom is a share in God’s knowledge. And since God is love, His knowledge has inter human relationships and human-divine relationship pivotal to it. Any intelligence, knowledge or expertise becomes environment, human and God friendly when it is founded on Wisdom. Wisdom is what we require to mend human lives and relationships. Intelligence and knowledge deal with human only as bio-mechanical system. But wisdom deals with human as a "son" created in the image and character of God. Wisdom is comes from a constant relationship with God. Wisdom is the gift of the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit guides us to the depth of God’s eternal knowledge. Wisdom belongs to the one who submit his will completely to God and present himself as an empty jar, even as his intelligence and knowledge super abound. Relate to God consistently...

A genius has intelligence, expert has wealth of experience. But the wise has Wisdom. Intelligence is the capacity to process Knowledge. Knowledge is the processed data. But Wisdom is God’s counsel freely available to all mankind.  Wisdom is superior as it not only deals with issues of life here but also the life to come. It has a salvific dimension too. Experiential knowledge can be built on old wisdom but better is the wisdom of "now".  Every human related problem, even when the situations are identical, requires unique solutions. Wisdom offers t his unique and ever new solution and addresses the problem "wholly". Wisdom knows all parties involved in the problem and thus able to offer unique, holistic and integrated solution. These solutions not only work but also build the individual.  Wisdom is a share in God’s knowledge. Ask and you shall receive. Seek and you shall find. Knock and the door shall be opened unto you

All of us have our share of pain and suffering which steals the joy, out of our lives. Most often these sufferings are nothing but consequence of the lack of prudence or Wisdom . Wisdom is the counsel, God grants us freely, in order to make the right decisions and effectively execute tasks that are before us. The diverse and complex work schedules, all of us traverse through, leaves us frustrated with unsettled problems to tackle at the end of each day. Problems like being misunderstood, favoritism at work etc are a few in this endless list. We carry the resultant frustration with us and transfer it to people who come in contact with us. They take the brunt of our mistakes. These issues grow in size and depth and manifest in malicious ways and cripple lives. God’s wisdom offers to settle all loose ends on a daily basis. He also helps us to formulate strategies, to tackle future tasks. Wisdom surpasses all conventional human understanding. Wisdom can be acquired by way of a daily s...

All of us, at some point in our lives, negate a strong inclination from within to change. To change the way we behave in specific situations. This includes how we react to certain situations, questionable ways we operate to fulfill some of our unspecific desires, Certain passions at work in us that give rise to actions that we are not truly comfortable with etc. This desire to change is a positive drive and a default mechanism within man that operates as result of our original goodness. All of us are inherently good. At the same time we are also the result of the situations we have gone through, our circumstances, certain traits that is passed down to us from our parents and grandparents. The usual tendency is to live with these anomalies and get used to it so much that we fail to differentiate what is innate from what is acquired. All of us, at any point of time can change. The process of change begins with an awareness that I need to change. The challenge is to take this awarene...

Get on board with me for a little time travel, back to the beginning of creation. No life anywhere. All is barren. You and I are, as it were, a desire in the heart of God—a dream He has chosen to bring into existence. He runs His fingers through the innumerable planets scattered across the heavens and looks upon the earth with favour. In His infinite wisdom, He sees what is yet to come: man and generations of humanity, created in His image and likeness, called to live in communion with Him forever. Like an architect preparing to build his masterpiece, God sets out to create. But first, He prepares a world for the one who is to come. Trees and fruits. Birds and the sky. Abundant waters teeming with fish. Mountains capped with snow. Animals of every kind. The sun to illuminate the earth. Night to bring rest. Stars to shimmer in the darkness. The moon to keep watch over the night. Creation is prepared as a home for humanity. I will fill them with My love and presence, we might imagine th...

We get distracted and stray when our focus wavers. But when we have a single focus in life, every situation—whether positive or negative—can become a stepping stone that draws us closer to that goal. What happens to us or around us does not have to determine our direction. Our focus does. For a Christian, the focus of our life is union with Christ . This union begins here on earth and reaches its glorious fulfilment in eternal life. A wrong focus is like wearing dark glasses and forgetting that we are wearing them. Everything appears dark, and we begin to assume that darkness is normal. We adjust our lives accordingly and slowly lose our way. Suppose our focus is to create wealth. Then every person we meet, every situation we encounter, and every opportunity that comes our way may be evaluated according to how it can help us achieve that goal. In the process, we may fail to recognise or serve the deeper purposes and needs of others. But if our focus is Christ, we can still create wealt...

In the Trinity, the Father gives Himself completely to the Son, and the Son gives Himself completely to the Father. Giving oneself completely to the other is love. The Holy Spirit is the divine Person who proceeds eternally from the Father and the Son. In the mystery of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is not merely a force or an abstract idea of love. He is Love, fully God, eternally proceeding within the communion of the Father and the Son. The Father gives everything to the Son. The Son receives everything from the Father and gives Himself completely back to the Father. Their eternal communion is so perfect that the Holy Spirit proceeds from them as the eternal bond and communion of divine love. Isn't that an extraordinary mystery? The Greek word perichoresis is used by theologians to describe the mutual indwelling and communion of the Persons of the Trinity. The Father is in the Son, the Son is in the Father, and the Holy Spirit dwells in this perfect communion—not as three gods, ...
