Who talks a lot does not mean that it is inspired by wisdom.
The wise man is known because it is at peace with life
free from hostility and fear.
Dhammapada verse 258
The Buddha often spoke of the frequent essays and benefits. But
how to be sure that someone is wise? One way is to see how
are free from malice. And we know how to listen with your heart
. The same goes for fear. This person generates
peace or conflict? If we listen only with the head can be
overly impressed by an intelligent language.
But if we stop trying to know for sure and we have a quiet confidence in
aware, it will be our own inner wisdom to guide us
.
