CLEVERNESS AND COMPLEXITY ARE NOT NECESSARILY WISDOM.--Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Hazrat Samuel L. Lewis (Sufi Ahmed Murad Chisti):
These qualities come to one from subtlety of mind, from being able to turn thoughts in certain directions and to mold the mind-stuff, so to speak, as a potter molds clay. But this is still to operate in the sphere of mind. Wisdom, on the other hand, pours down from the
spiritual world into the mental sphere as a ray of pure light, brings life and illumination to the mind and clarifies it all at once, regardless of particular influences and conditions.
