72/You May Not Know/Wisdom Only Comes When You Use It

You May Not Know
**Wisdom Only Comes When You Use I** Spoken By Supreme Master Ching Hai, Thailand January 2, 1994 (Originally In English)
The same with wisdom, if you don't talk to other people, don't let them ask you questions you'll never know how much you've gain during this everyday meditation. You think you've gained nothing, sometimes you have, many of you have, because you have experiences and your life has become smoother. Apart from that some people asked me: "Master, but I want wisdom. I don't have any wisdom. I see light, I hear sound, my life is better, I feel very good; but where is my wisdom? I want to see my wisdom." Yes, your wisdom only comes when you use it. If today you were not here and expected me to come, all this would have not come out. Even though I have it inside, but I don't have to use it, don't talk to you, so you never know what I know. I don't also know what I know! Therefore, whatever you have you must use it in order to realize that you have it. See what I mean? Even physically, mentally and intellectually we all have to use our treasure inside in order to realize what we have. Otherwise don't sit there and complain: "Master, I don't have wisdom." Talking nonsense. You have to talk to people, and then realize how high a level you have risen to now, compared to yourself before, or compared to that person who has not been initiated. Doesn't matter what position or what religion he belongs to, what kind of rank he has in that religion. The higher you talk, the better you know how wise you are. Before, if you talked to this high ranking kind of religious figure, you feared. You bowed to them and you hold your hands trembling. Now you talk to them, you see how you have progressed? If you want to know your wisdom, try this method and let me know how you feel.
