The ideal for homo sapiens is the combination of a perfect intelligence with a perfect character, and this is the proper meaning of the word “WISDOM”; it is the ideal represented by gnosis, which a priori is set on the restoration of the primordial perfection of man. (GTUFS: HaveCenter, Intelligence and Character)
Wisdom is not only to see the archetypes through the form or the heavenly in the earthly, it is also to be resigned to contingency. (GTUFS: PlayMasks, In the Face of Contingency)
Wisdom consists not only in knowing truths and being able to communicate them, but also in the sage’s capacity to recognize the most subtle limitations or hazards of human nature. Since, for various reasons, this condition is not always fulfilled – and extenuating circumstances for this are not lacking – we encounter errors of a certain kind even on the part of traditional authorities, with all due deference to those who view such authorities in far too superhuman a light. It is a fact that the doctors of the Law and of the Spirit contradict one another even apart from any heresy, and for reasons which are not always a simple question of point of view, unless one calls lack of intellectual intuition or a false piece of reasoning a “point of view.” (GTUFS: ChristIslam, Dilemmas of Moslem Scholasticism)
Wisdom is simple, inasmuch as its expressions converge on That which alone is, and WISDOM has the gift of simplifying; but it also comprises, for that very reason, all the sanctifying riches which the human soul, so diverse in its nature, may need during its pilgrimage towards the Immutable. (GTUFS: TreasuresB, Dharmakara’s Vow)
