Meditation for Peace
Applying knowledge Skillfully
When we plant a mango tree to satisfy our appetite or getting rich depends on the fruit the tree will give.
“When we plant a mango tree to satisfy our appetite or getting rich depends on the fruit the tree will give.
In the beginning the tree only has a stalk, branches and leaves which are only the preparatory stage before it gives fruit.
In the same way, all sorts of knowledge are only preparatory stage which we hope is going to lead to some useful applications of the knowledge.
In the beginning the tree only has a stalk, branches and leaves which are only the preparatory stage before it gives fruit.
Knowledge is only of real use to us when we are able to apply it to bring benefit to ourselves and others.
Now matter how learned you may be, if you are unable to apply what you know it is unlikely that you will be able to achiever success in life.
This can be compared to a person who knows everything, but cannot help himself.
The ability to apply knowledge comes from strong intention to reach success.
Such a person has knowledge but is incapable.
The ability to apply knowledge comes from strong intention to reach success.”
