Knowing and doing (Imam Ali (as)’s wisdom)
We love learning don't we?
I believe that we have an inherent attraction towards wisdom and acquiring knowledge of what makes sense, of what aligns with the deepest truths that human beings are hard-wired with.
Putting the knowledge into action, however, is sometimes a little more challenging.
Spiritual wisdom often differentiates between surface knowledge and true knowledge.
True knowledge is transformational. When you know better, you do better.
Here is how Imam Ali puts it:
Knowledge is accompanied by action, for whoever knows acts. Knowledge calls out for action: if it responds to the call then it remains . . . otherwise it moves away from it.
In other words, knowledge, if not acted upon, departs.
A great way to remember what we learn is to start acting upon it immediately. Taking baby steps . . .
So, how much of the Daily Wisdom have we acted upon??
