Description
Very fragrant medium-sized tassel-like head composed of numerous long cream white stamens with yellow green tips; borne in axillary clusters. A large spreading deciduous tree.
True wisdom is to unite with Divine so that you can clearly know what He wants of you and for you. All the rest is nothing but human convention and theory.
The Mother
The Mother. Collected Works of the Mother.- Volume 10. - The Thoughts and Aphorismes
Wisdom is the vision of truth in its essence and of its application in the manifestation.
The Mother
The Mother. Collected Works of the Mother.- Volume 10. - The Thoughts and Aphorismes
What men call knowledge, is the reasoned acceptance of false appearances. Wisdom looks behind the veil and sees.
Reason divides, fixes details and contrasts them; Wisdom unifies, marries contrasts in a single harmony.
