Questioner (Q): Acharya Ji, is wisdom a thought?
Acharya Prashant (AP):
Wisdom is not a thought. Wisdom is to see the limit of thought. Wisdom is not to place needless trust upon thought.
Thought is a problem-solving mechanism. And if the problem is still continuing, how can there be understanding?
Understanding is freedom from thought.
Sure, the mind has the capability to think just as the mouth has the capability to eat. Will you keep eating? There are other organs of the body that have other capabilities. Will you keep walking? Will you keep mating?
Q: So, think only when it is needed?
