“A person without wisdom takes a small thing and makes it into a huge mountain. If you think it is a mountain and try to carry it, you will not be able to hold it in your hands, and you will fall. It is simply a form, it is simply magic. For a person with wisdom, a huge mountain is like a small splinter. He will just flick it away with his finger, and he will go. For one without wisdom, it will be a huge mountain, and he will take a shovel and a pick axe to it and attempt to break it apart. For wisdom it is a small splinter.
Therefore, we have to keep the great herb of wisdom with us. That means we have to have the compassion to comfort others. We have to have within us the world of the kingdom of God with which to give peace to others. We have to have the justice of God within us with which to make peace. We have to have the love that can heal the suffering of others. We must endeavor to establish these states within us.”
-M. R. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen (Ral.)
