Question 64: WHY DOES ONE GAIN A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF THINGS WHEN THE MIND ENTERS A MEDITATIVE STATEAND CEASES TO THINK?Answer: There are two types of wisdom. Wisdom acquired through thinking, gainedthrough observation, reasoning, experimentation, and learning, leads to thedevelopment of science and technology. Wisdom acquired through meditationarises from a calm and focused mind, allowing us to see beyond the surface ofthings and understand the universal nature.The path to comprehending the world through learning orients us as faras we can, with a specific and practical approach, and scientists have opted toseek knowledge this way. This path has been accumulated over thousands ofyears, through many generations, and has led the world to its presentcivilization.Thepath to cultivate wisdom through meditation bearing a distinguished perspectiveon life allows us to bypass the limitations of our sensesand intellect and connect with a deeper level of understanding. Meditation demands morality, principles, purity, inner peace,and the release of worldly attachments. Those who walk this path may not beinterested in building a powerfuland technologically advancedcivilization, as they maysee the potential for such civilizations to become corruptand destructive. Instead,they may focus on helping others achieve supreme spiritual awakening,inner peace and noble sustainability.Our mind could be on track to obtain wisdom if it is tranquil. The mind is not merely a void; it is avast and complex landscape. When it is agitated, it can lead us astray.Otherwise, it can reveal universal truths and morality.#Buddha, #Buddhism, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Meditation, #Enlightenment, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #Blessing, #Goodblessing, #Janna, #JannaMonastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #LawOfKarma, #CauseAndEffect, #UniversalTruth, #KarmicRetribution, #AxiomaticTruth, #PhilosophyOfMind,
