Paramhansa Yogananda on Wisdom: He is the wisest who seeks God. He is the most successful who has found God. Wisdom is a chisel, love is the sandpaper. The greatest thing you can do to cultivate true wisdom is to practice the consciousness of the world as a dream. If failure comes, say, It is a dream. Be unruffled in everything you do. If you try hard to cultivate the dream-opposite to whatever trials you may be experiencing, you will be able to change a nightmarish experience into a beautiful experience. Theoretical knowledge cannot give you realization about God. So don’t waste your time on too much theory. Those who do so becomes lost in the jungle of reason and never get beyond mere theories. In the process of reasoning and reasoning they never perceive truth, for truth is beyond reason. Most intellectualists thus become bound by their own conclusions. The greatest thing you can do to cultivate true wisdom is to practice the consciousness of the world as a dream. If failure comes, say, It is a dream. Be unruffled in everything you do. If you try hard to cultivate the dream-opposite to whatever trials you may be experiencing, you will be able to change a nightmarish experience into a beautiful experience. It is not necessary to go through every kind of human experience in order to attain this ultimate wisdom. You should be able to learn by studying the lives of others. Why become helplessly involved in an endless panorama of events in order to discover that nothing in this world can ever make you happy?
